ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of potassium permanganate flushing in adult proximal type hypospadias patients in preventing and reducing the postoperative complications.Methods 100 cases of hypospadias in adults over the age of 16 patients according to admission order and the single or double bed number,divided into the observation group (50 cases) and the control group (50 cases).The observation group used 1:10 000 concentration of potassium permanganate solution to wash the penis and scrotum incision three days post-operation,and exposed the operation area.The control group used traditional methods,with application of vaseline oil gauze to circularly bandage the area.Results The clinical symptoms of the observation group obviously improved 5 day postoperation,and the incidence of incision infection,urinary fistula also reduced 7 days postoperation,but the class A healing rate was higher compared with those of the control group.Conclusions Using 1:10 000 concentration of potassium permanganate solution for flushing in adult patients with proximal type hypospadias three days postoperatively can effectively promote the healing of the incision,and the operation method is simple,low-cost,economic and practical,which is worth being promoted.
