Brief summary

This study aims to compare the outcomes of two surgical techniques for hypospadias repair. The two techniques being compared are the transverse mattress suture urethroplasty and the continuous suture urethroplasty. Patients will undergo one of these two surgical techniques and will be clinically monitored postoperatively for complications and outcomes on outdoor basis for 2 weeks.

Interventions

The operative steps of hypospadias surgery involved penile degloving, correction of chordee and reconstruction of the urethra (urethroplasty). The technique involved taking sutures from 1 cm on one edge of the urethral plate passing through the soft tissue beneath both urethral edges, and emerging 1cm from the other urethral edge. The suture was then returned to create a transverse mattress suture. Multiple sutures were used to reconstruct the neourethra. Approximate duration of procedure is 60

Surgeon will be administrating the intervention. Operation report is used to monitor adherence to the intervention.
