Suture tracks after hypospadias repair
Suture tracks can be created when surgeons place sutures THROUGH the skin instead of UNDER the skin. We recommend that hypospadiologists always take the time to place sutures below the skin to avoid these tracks. Read publication here.
Does Tubularized Incised Plate Hypospadias Repair Create Neourethral Strictures?
TIP repair for proximal hypospadias can result in strictures (blockages) of the urine channel when used in patients with penile curvature. This experience led us to stop TIP repairs when more than 30 degrees of curvature is present. Now we perform STAG repairs instead, which result in urine channel blockages less than 1% of the… Read More »
