Hypospadias Repair
Conditions
Brief summary
Objective: To study the effect of tubularizing the urethral plate in DPH in children using 2 different absorbable suture materials, rapidly absorbable, braided 6/0 Vicryl and slowly absorbable monofilament 6/0 Polydioxanone, on complication rates. Patients and methods: A prospective, randomized controlled study conducted at the Urology Department, Cairo University Specialized Pediatric Hospital, Abou El Reesh, between September 2021 and September 2022. A total of 69 boys aged between 8 and 120 months with DPH were randomly divided into 2 groups: group(A) Vicryl included 39 boys and group(B) PDS included 30 boys. All boys were uncircumcised with no chordee and were primary repairs. TIP was the surgical technique used by a single pediatric urologist. Follow up was performed in outpatient clinic at 7 days, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively. The complications and reoperation rates for both groups were compared.
