Y1 - 2014 N1 - T2 - Operative Pediatric Surgery, 2e AB - Higher rates of cryptorchidism and inguinal hernia.Due to the higher incidence of DSD in patients with hypospadias and nonpalpable testicles an evaluation of these patients should be done.Difficulty in passing a catheter at the time of hypospadias repair may be due to the presence of a utricle.Imaging of the upper tracts in hypospadias patients is not routinely done unless there is another indication.The components of hypospadias repair are: correction of chordee, urethroplasty, reconstruction of the glans, and skin coverage.Currently, the repair of most hypospadias is based on the intact urethral plate.The technique used is based on the location of the urethral meatus and the severity of the chordee.Chordee correction should be done prior to urethroplasty.Hypospadias surgeons should be comfortable performing repairs on the full spectrum of hypospadias as findings at the time of operation may reveal a more severe defect.Early complications include bleeding, hematoma, and infection.The rate of late complications is based on the degree of hypospadias and the type of repair used.The overall reoperative rate is 9.8%.Patients with fistulae or urethrocele should be evaluated for distal stenosis.
