| Abstract | ||
| Background: Hypospadias is the most common congenital malformation of penile shaft occurring in 1 per 300 male births; it is considered a common clinical problem as it causes not only functional problems but also psychological problems for parents. Objective: The objectives of this study is to review the result of TIP repair of distal penile hypospadias in terms of outcome and complications of stenting and unstenting the urethra. Patients and methods: As a prospective randomized study; this study has included patients with distal penile hypospadias operated with Snodgrass between year 2011-2018 and had divided to (group A) included 40 patients operated upon with stent preservation for a week (group B) was 20 patients with stent removed at the end of the operation. Results: Regarding group (A) the stent of 10 cases had slipped at the first 8 hour postoperative so they have been added to the count of (group B) and considered as unstented repair. It is clear here in our study that meatal stenosis rate were different from Snodgrass rate but were similar to other published studies. Other comparable items as fistula rate, urinary retention and hospital stay, were the same as published studies. Conclusion: It could tell that removing the catheter can reduce bladder spasm , urinary tract infections, and patient discomfort and improve the familiar compliance without increasing acute retention episodes and fistula rate, so that at least in some cases specially in distal types, leaving stent can be avoided. | ||
