Purpose: To describe the management of hypospadias and to evaluate its results in our practice.
Methods:We carried out a retrospective, descriptive study during the period from April 1 st 2016 to March 31 st , 2021. Were included, all the children who had a urethroplasty for hypospadias. There were 58 files. We studied the epidemiological aspects, the surgical techniques as well as the short-, mid-and long-term complications.
Results:The hypospadias was anterior in 28 cases (48.28%), mid in 18 cases (31.03%), and posterior in 12 cases (20.69%). The mean age of our patients at the time of surgery was 3 years, ranging from 14 months to 8 years.The surgical techniques of Duplay (36%), Onlay (13.8%) and Mathieu (17%) were the most used. A two-stage surgery was performed in 3 patients. In all our patients, a trans-urethral stent catheter was placed. The mean duration of urine drainage was 4 days with extremes of 2 days and 10 days. Revision surgery was necessary in 26 patients, i.e. 54.16%. After a mean follow-up of 10 months, 27% of patients presented a complication, half of which was a urethro-cutaneous fistula. The results were considered good in 59% of cases.
Conclusion:The results of hypospadias treatment have improved in recent years despite still significant morbidity.
