Summary

The Mathieu hypospadias repair, with a 2-layer anastomosis and urethral stenting, shows a low complication rate of 1.5%. This established technique offers excellent cosmetic and functional outcomes for distal hypospadias repair.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Urology
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Hypospadias Repair

Background:

  • The Mathieu hypospadias repair is a widely used surgical technique.
  • Recent reports indicate a 3.6% complication rate in unstented Mathieu repairs.
  • Evaluating institutional outcomes is crucial for refining surgical practices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the complication rate and outcomes of the Mathieu hypospadias repair at our institution.
  • To compare the results of Mathieu repair with and without urethral stenting.
  • To reaffirm the Mathieu procedure as a standard for distal hypospadias repair.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 202 patients undergoing Mathieu hypospadias repair (197 primary, 5 secondary) over 5 years.
  • Neourethral reconstruction utilized a 2-layer anastomosis with optical magnification.

  • Urethral stents were employed for postoperative drainage in all but one patient.

    • Main Results:

    • A low overall reoperation rate of 1.5% was observed.
    • No stent migration or symptomatic urinary tract infections occurred.
    • Excellent cosmetic results were achieved in 201 cases, with minimal complications like meatal retraction and urethrocutaneous fistulas requiring minor revisions.

    Conclusions:

    • The Mathieu repair, particularly with a 2-layer anastomosis and optical magnification, yields excellent cosmetic and functional results.
    • Postoperative urethral stenting minimizes complications without significant morbidity.
    • The Mathieu procedure remains a reliable standard for distal hypospadias repair, offering a minimal complication rate.
