“…The reported incidence of complications following hypospadias repair ranges from 6% to 30%, with UCF ranking highest. [ 12 13 14 21 ] This also was our experience with the UCF constituting almost 38% out of the 50% complication rates. Most of the UCF usually closed spontaneously during a 1-3 month post-operative period.…”

Background:To determine the outcome of hypospadias repair in children.Patients and Methods:This was a retrospective study of all patients with hypospadias managed at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Abuja, Nigeria from January 2009 to December 2013.Results:Twenty-four cases of hypospadias had corrective surgery during the 5-year period under review. Seventy-five percent of the patients (n = 18) were seen after the 1st year of life. There were two peaks of ages at corrective repair; 45.8% between age 1 and 3 years and 29.1% between age 5 and 10 years. The average age at time of surgery was 44.9 months. Distal hypospadias were more common (58.4%), followed by glanular (20.8%) and proximal (20.8%) hypospadias. Associated anomalies included chordee, maldescended testicles and inguinal hernia in 20.8%, 4.1% and 8.3% cases, respectively. Operative techniques were single-stage procedures in 79.1% of patients consisting of simple circumcision in two cases (10.5%), Mathieu's peri-meatal based flap in four cases (21%), meatal advancement and glanuloplasty incorporated in three cases (16%) and Snodgrass tubularised incised urethral plate tubularised incised plate in 10 cases (52.5%). The remaining 20.9% (n = 5) had multi-staged procedures. The most common post-operative complications were urethrocutenous fistula in nine patients (33.3%) and metal stenosis in 3 patients (12.5%).Conclusions:Our results show that hypospadia repair is froth with attendant high complications in our setting.

“…The aim of the treatment is to establish a functionally normal urethra and a cosmetically acceptable penis with normal urinary and sexual functions. The ideal age for surgical repair in a healthy child has been recommended to be between 6 and 18 months of age and the availability of microsurgical instruments, fine suture material and magnification has improved the results of early surgery 6 . The present study was an attempt to report the hospital prevalence, types, management, age at repair and complications of hypospadias repair in children in a tertiary academic hospital in Bangladesh over a period of five years.…”

Background: Hypospadias a very common condition in the children and the incidence is increasing. Here we present our experience of managing hypospadias patients over the last five years. Materials and methods: It was a retrospective study from 2014 to 2018 in the Department of Pediatric Surgery, Chattogram Medical College Hospital. Records of all hypospadias patients were analyzed and type of hypospadias, age at repair, type of repair and admission with complication of hypospadias were recorded. Results: A total of 492 boys were admitted with the diagnosis of hypospadias and 272 boys underwent hypospadias surgery. Distal penile hypospadias (148 patients, 30%) was the commonest variety followed by coronal hypospadias (144 patients, 29%). Age at surgery ranged from 6 months to 19 years with a mean age of 7±4 years. General anesthesia was given in 133 patients (64.7%) spinal anesthesia in 93 patients (31.8%) local anesthesia in 7 patients (2.4%) and caudal block in 3 patients (1%). Urethro-cutaneous fistula, failed urethroplasty and meatal stenosis are the admissions with hypospadias complications. Conclusion: Hypospadias is still common with substantial number of complications. Health education is necessary to reduce age at surgery. JCMCTA 2020 ; 31 (1) : 38-41

This study is unique in that it combines strategies from various fields. The framework's persuasive strategies are drawn from the field of psychology, the innovative pedagogies are drawn from the field of education and the design science research approach is drawn from the field of information systems. This implies that increasing female participation in socioeconomic growth requires transdisciplinary research. This also has implications for how other United Nations Sustainable Development Goals can be met through transdisciplinary research.
