Brief summary

Hypospadias is the most common congenital anomaly of penis. It is the second most common genital birth defect in boys after cryptorchidism The reinforcement of hypospadias repair with an intermediate layer is believed to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications such as uretherocautanous fistula. Hypospadias is classified by the location of the abnormal urethral meatus into distal penile (glandular ,subcoronal and distal penile), mid penile and proximal penile hypospadias Indeed, uretherocautanous fistula is most common complication after urethroplasty, with introduction of a protective layer between the neourethra and the covering skin strongly reduces fistulas occurrence and the overall complication the aim of the study To evaluate and to compare the use of PRP covering layer and dartos fascia flap layer in regard to complication rates in hypospadias repair

Interventions

PROCEDUREPlasma-Rich Platelet Graft

The clot was extracted from the tube, separated from red blood cells, and gently compressed between two surgical swabs to obtain a soft and resistant membrane. The Snodgrass technique was carried out for all patients, with a suitable size catheter (8-12-Fr), repair was carried out by a continuous layer of polyglycolic suture (Vicryl) size 6/0, covered by an interrupted second layer. In group A, after finishing the Snodgrass TIPU, a PRP sheet coverage was applied over urethroplasty and secured by Vicryl 7/0, and finally the skin sutured directly without any covering layers

PROCEDUREDartos Flap

preputial dartos flap will be used
