Abstract

Introduction There are various techniques described for repair of penile hypospadias. Objective To present the anatomical repair technique and to discuss the lessons learned from this technique over 18 years. Methods All consecutive patients with penile hypospadias who underwent anatomical repair of urethra, spongiosum, bucks and dartos fascia and foreskin by the 3rd author, with a minimum of 1 year follow up from January 2003 to March 2020 at the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, United Kingdom, were included in the study. No formal ethics approval taken as this study was done as a service evaluation. Perioperative and follow up data were recorded prospectively in the departmental database. SIPP 21 was used for statistical analysis. Fisher’s Exact Test used for sub-group analysis. Findings were considered statistically significant at p<0.05. Results 368 patients had surgery at a median age of 18 months. 94.6% had no complications, 4.1% had minor and 1.3% had significant complications. 77.5% had a distal ectopic meatus. The mean length of urethroplasty was 8mm. To widen the urethral plate, a meatoplasty (M) was performed in 34% and urethral plate incision (UPI) in 14%. Catheters were used in 71% for a median duration of 7 days, and 40% had a 6F catheter. Regards to meatal stenosis the only statistically significant causative factor was UPI with 6fr catheter. P value=0.02. Conclusions Anatomical repair provides a completely normal penis with minimal complications. Meatoplasty widens the urethral-plate and reduces the risk for meatal stenosis.
