Hypospadias Surgery Complications
Hypospadias repair surgeries may lead to various complications, including bleeding, urethral fistula, stricture formation, severe skin edema, subcutaneous hematoma, persistent chordee, scrotal abscess, and bladder calculus.
Acute postoperative complications of hypospadias repair surgery may involve bleeding, hematoma, edema, wound infection, wound dehiscence, skin necrosis, flap necrosis, and fistula formation.
Risks and complications associated with hypospadias repair surgeries include bruising, infection, swelling, fistulas, shortening of the penis, anesthesia risks, healing problems, recurrent curvature of the penis, weak urine stream, pain during urination, discomfort during sex, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and lumps or hard spots on the penis.
Complications of hypospadias surgery may include breakdown of the glanular repair, tight repair leading to breakdown, and selection of patients with less elastic urethra contributing to higher complication rates.
Long-term complications of hypospadias repair surgeries may include urethrocutaneous fistula, curvature recurrence, penile shortening, urinary stream issues, discomfort during sex, and urinary tract infections (UTIs).
