ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effect of systematic diagnosis and treatment model based on new classification on primary hypospadias.Methods:The data of 689 patients with primary hypospadias admitted to Renji Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from March 2010 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Of all, 349 cases from March 2010 to June 2016 were treated with traditional treatment methods, and 340 cases from July 2016 to June 2021 were treated with systematic diagnosis and treatment model based on new hypospadias classification. Traditional treatment group of patients according to the European Society of Urology (EAU) guide classification, were divided into the distal-anterior type (located on the glans or distal shaft of the penis), intermediate-middle type (penile) and proximal-posterior type (penoscrotal, scrotal, perineal). For distal type, tubularized incised plate (TIP) or dorsal inlay urethroplasty (Inlay) was performed. Patients with intermediate-middle type underwent Inlay, and patients with proximal-posterior type underwent Bracka staging. In the systematic diagnosis and treatment group, hypospadias was reclassified into distal type (located on the glan or in the first third of the shaft of the penis), junctional type (the back two-thirds of the shaft of the penis and the base of the penis), and proximal type (scrotum or perineum). For distal type, TIP or Inlay was used. Patients with junctional type were treated with urethroplasty with union free graft and local flap method (Montage). Patients with proximal type were treated with Montage or Bracka staging. Patients with testicular volume <0.8 ml and glans width <1.0 cm were treated with human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) before surgery. There were 349 patients in the traditional group, with an average age of (18.58±7.59) months. There were 157 cases of distal-anterior type, 47 cases of intermediate-middle type and 145 cases of proximal-posterior type. There were 181 cases with penile curvature < 30° and 168 cases with penile curvature ≥30°. There were 340 cases in the systematic diagnosis and treatment group, with an average age of (18.94±6.05) months. According to EAU classification, 160 cases were distal-anterior type, 42 cases were intermediate-middle type and 138 cases were proximal-posterior type. There were 197 cases with penile curvature < 30° and 143 cases with penile curvature ≥30°. There was no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( P>0.05). The surgical methods, incidence of postoperative complications and the time of hospital stay between the two groups compared. The changes in penis size and testis volume before and after the use of hormones in the systematic treatment group were compared. Results:In the traditional group, 139 patients underwent TIP, 65 patients underwent Inlay, and 145 patients underwent Bracka staging. In the systematic diagnosis and treatment group, 187 cases were reclassified as distal type (153 cases underwent TIP and 34 cases underwent Inlay). Of the 69 cases of junctional type, 10 cases underwent Inlay, and 59 cases underwent Montage. Of the 84 cases of proximal type, 77 cases underwent Montage, and 7 cases underwent Bracka staging. There was significant difference between the two groups ( P<0.01). In the traditional group, there were 31 cases of urinary fistula (8.9%), 43 cases of urethral stricture (12.3%), 21 cases of urethral diverticulum (6.1%), 45 cases of penile recurvature (12.9%), and the total incidence of complications was 40.1% (140/349). There were 19 cases of urinary fistula (5.6%), 28 cases of urethral stricture (8.2%), 15 cases of urethral diverticulum (4.4%) and 24 cases of penile recurvature (7.1%) in the systematic diagnosis and treatment group. The total incidence of complications was 25.3%(86/340). There were statistically significant differences in the incidence of the above complications between the two groups ( P<0.05). There was a significant difference in the duration of hospital stay between the traditional group and the systematic diagnosis and treatment group [(4.3±1.2) d vs. (1.5±0.5) d, P=0.01]. The width of glans penis after HCG treatment was (1.35±0.14) cm, which was significantly higher than that before HCG treatment [(0.96±0.24) cm, P=0.03]. The length of penis [(2.55±0.19) cm vs. (2.29±0.16) cm] and the volume of testis [(0.76±0.24) ml vs. (0.64±0.15) ml] were not significantly different from those before treatment ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The new classification has clarified the choice of surgical methods, avoiding the amplification of surgical indications. The systematic diagnosis and treatment model based on new classification has significantly improved the treatment effect of hypospadias and effectively reduced postoperative complications. It provides an optional diagnosis and treatment model for hypospadias.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of inlay buccal mucosa graft with tubularized incised urethral plates (TIP) urethroplasty for hypospadias repair. MethodsFrom January 2005 to December 2010,a total of 343 cases of hypospadias underwent a buccal mucosa graft with TIP urethroplasty.The patients aged from 6 months to 61 years,mean 7 years.One hundred and forty-seven were primary surgery cases,and 196 cases had a history of failed surgery.In primary cases,124 were distal type and 23 were proximal type.There were 137 distal type cases and 59 proximal types in failed case group.A buccal mucosa graft was harvested from lower lip,fixed into the incised urethral plates in primary cases.In re-do cases,open urethral and remove scar tissue were necessary. ResultsThe width of the buccal mucosa ranged 0.5 - 2.5 cm,length ranged 1.0 - 8.5 cm.All the patients were followed up for 6 - 36 months,average 16 months.In primary group,fistula occurred in 14 cases (9.5％ ),and urethral stricture in 2 cases (1.4％),in which 1 proximal case occurred both with urethral stricture and fistula; the overall success rate was 89.8％.In re-do group,fistula occurred in 32 cases ( 16.3％ ),and stricture in 13 cases (6.6％),in which 1 distal and 5 proximal cases occurred with both urethral stricture and fistula; the overall success rate was 80.1％. ConclusionsInlay buccal mucosal graft with TIP technique is an effective instrumentality for hypospadias repair because of its high successful rate,good cosmetic effect and without affecting on oral appearance and function in donor site.
