Objectives:
To review the follow-up data and complications of adult patients who underwent hypospadias surgery.
Methods:
The records of 88 male patients with an average age of 21.9 years (range 20 to 27) who were operated on for hypospadias from 1996 to 2001 were reviewed in two groups: primary cases and all others (at least one unsuccessful attempt to correct the hypospadias). The primary cases consisted of 48 anterior, 9 middle, and 2 proximal hypospadias; the second group consisted of 16 urethrocutaneal fistula, 8 hypospadias, and 5 cripple cases.
Results:
The complication rate was 10.1% for the first group and 27.5% for the second group. After the second intervention in groups 1 and 2, the overall success rate was 100% and 89.6%, respectively.
Conclusions:
Adult hypospadias is repaired with the techniques used in pediatric cases. However, the postoperative complication rate is higher, and these patients more often require multiple interventions.
