Application of a free preputial tube graft coupled with urethral plate urethroplasty combined with a Buck's fascia integral covering for the single-stage repair of severe hypospadias.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess the outcome of a free preputial tube graft coupled with urethral plate urethroplasty combined with a Buck's fascia integral covering (BFIC) for the single-stage repair of severe hypospadias in children.

Materials and methods

A retrospective study was performed on 40 children with hypospadias who were treated in our hospital from December 2017 to February 2022. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) the patient had proximal hypospadias, or penile curvature over 30° after degloving the penis; and (2) the patient underwent surgery for hypospadias for the first time. A free preputial tube graft coupled with urethral plate urethroplasty combined with a Buck's fascia integral covering was performed, and all patients were followed up for more than 6 months.

Results

After degloving the foreskin, the urethral orifice was retracted to the perineum and scrotum in 20 cases, penoscrotal in 8 cases, and penile in 12 cases. Single-stage repair was achieved without complications in 34 (85%) patients. The remaining six patients experienced postoperative complications: urethrocutaneous fistula occurred in five cases and glans dehiscence with urethrocutaneous fistula in one case. No urethral diverticulum occurred in any case. A neomeatus with a vertically oriented slit-like appearance was achieved at the tip of the glans in all cases, with one exception.

Conclusion

The single-stage operation with a free preputial tube graft coupled with urethral plate urethroplasty combined with a Buck's fascia integral covering in the treatment of severe hypospadias achieves favorable functional and cosmetic outcomes.

Project description:Objectives: The objective of the study is to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of urethroplasty with a Buck's fascia integral-covering technique (BFIC) to wrap and restore the normal anatomical structure of the penis in one-stage hypospadias surgery. Methods: One-stage surgeries for hypospadias management were performed using BFIC from January 2016 to September 2020 at four high-volume medical centers in China. The technique integrates Buck's fascia with glans wings to mobilize and wrap the urethra and restore penile anatomical relationships. The clinical data, postoperative follow-up data, and complications were recorded, and the results were analyzed. Results: A total of 1,386 patients were included in the study: 1,260 cases of primary hypospadias and 126 cases of re-operations; distal in 382 cases (27.6%), mid-shaft in 639 (46.1%), proximal in 365 (26.3%); tubularized incised plate (TIP) in 748 cases, inlay-graft in 124, onlay-graft in 49, Mathieu in 28, free-tube graft urethroplasty in 406, and 31 of hybrid procedures. One thousand one hundred forty-two patients (82.4%) were found to have penile curvature (>10°) after artificial erection and all corrected by dorsal plication/s or transection of the urethra plate (UP) simultaneously. The median followed-up time was 27 months (6-62). A total of 143 (10.3%) complications were recorded: 114 (9.0%) in the primary operations and 29 (23%) in the re-operations, 15 (3.9%) in distal hypospadias, 61 (9.5%) in mid-shaft, and 67 (18.4%) in proximal. The complication rate in UP preservation and transection was 10.1 and 10.8%, respectively. Of all case complications, there were 73 (5.2%) of fistula, 10 (0.6%) of dehiscence, 22 (1.6%) of meatal stenosis, 21 (1.5%) of stricture, 6 (0.7%) of diverticulum, and resident curvature in 11 cases (1.2%). The overall complication rate in TIP and free-tube procedure was 9.8 and 9.9%, respectively, and fistula occurred in primary TIP of 33 cases (4.9%). Conclusions: Buck's fascia with the glans can be used as an integral covering technique in one-stage distal to proximal hypospadias and primary or re-operative hypospadias repair. It is safe, feasible, and effective for the repair of hypospadias.

Project description:BackgroundTo evaluate erectile and sexual function after pelvic fracture urethral injury (PFUI) by performing a retrospective review of a large multi-center database. We hypothesized that most men will have erectile dysfunction (ED) and poor sexual function following PFUI, which will remain after posterior urethroplasty.MethodsUsing the Trauma and Urologic Reconstructive Networks of Surgeons (TURNS) database, we identified PFUI patients undergoing posterior urethroplasty. We excluded patients with incomplete demographic, surgical and/or questionnaire data. Sexual Health Inventory of Men (SHIM), Male Sexual Health Questionnaire (MSHQ), and subjective changes in penile curvature were collected before urethroplasty surgery and at follow-up. We performed descriptive statistics for erectile and ejaculatory function using STATA v12.ResultsWe identified 92 men meeting inclusion criteria; median age was 41.7 years and BMI was 26.5. The mechanism of injury was blunt in all patients, and average distraction defect length was 2.3 cm (SD 1.0 cm). In the 38 patients who completed both pre and post-operative SHIM questionnaires, the mean SHIM score was 10.5 (SD 7.0), with 63% having severe ED (SHIM <12). The median follow-up was 5.6 months and the mean post-operative SHIM was 9.3 (SD 6.5), with 68% having severe ED. The mean change in SHIM score was -1.18 (SD 6.29) with 6 (16%) patients reporting de novo ED (≥5 point decrease in score). Of the men with pre-operative MSHQ data, 46/74 (62.1%) had difficulty with ejaculation, 25/35 (71%) had change in penile length, and 6/33 (18%) reported penile curvature. In men with post-operative MSHQ, 19/44 (43%) expressed difficulty with ejaculation, 23/32 (72%) had change in penile length, and 9/33 (27%) reported penile curvature.ConclusionsThere is a high rate of severe ED, both following PFUI and remaining after posterior urethroplasty. Additionally, rates of ejaculatory difficulty and patient perceived changes in penile length and curvature underscore the complex nature of the impact of these injuries on sexual function beyond simple erectile function.
