The following postoperative complications of urethra

Urethral hypoplasia is a very common and troublesome disease. There is no single cause of this disease. For some people, it is caused by genetics, while for others, the mother's exposure to progesterone is also a factor. The "failure to thrive" theory is the most reasonable explanation for hypospadias, and hypospadias requires surgery to treat it. So will there be any complications after urethral surgery? Let us explain this issue.

Hypospadias is a congenital defect in which the male urethral opening is located abnormally. The urethral opening may be located on the line from the normal urethral opening to the perineum. Most patients may have a ventral curvature of the penis. Hypospadias is a common malformation of the urinary system in children. According to foreign reports, the incidence rate can be as high as 1 in 125 to 250 male babies.

What to do if you have hypospadias

The best treatment for hypospadias is surgery. From the perspective of psychological development, the two best times for surgery are 6-15 months and 3-4 years old. Surgical treatment involves two aspects: one is to straighten the curved penis, and the other is to move the ectopic urethral opening to the top of the glans. Therefore, a section of the urethra must be reconstructed, which is one of the keys to the success of the operation.

In order to reduce surgical complications, the following issues should be noted after surgery:

1. Ensure successful urethral reconstruction. There are various methods to correct hypospadias. The first is to ensure successful urethral reconstruction. The most preferred method is the foreskin flap method, followed by the penile flap method, skin grafting method, etc.

2. Prevent infection. Preventive infection measures must be taken before, during and after surgery, otherwise it will affect the success rate of the operation. The area should be cleaned properly before the operation, aseptic operation and the use of antibiotics during the operation should be performed, and after the operation, more attention should be paid to the good care of the urethra and local wounds. Only the reasonable and effective use of antibiotics can prevent postoperative infection.

3. Pay attention to the prevention and treatment of penile erection. Prevention and treatment of penile erection is also an important measure to ensure the success of the operation, and short-term application of estrogen is very necessary.

4. Correct the curvature of the penis. To correct penile curvature deformity, it is necessary to release the fibrous tissue and other pathological tissues that cause the penile curvature. However, the white membrane of the penis should not be damaged or cut off at this time, otherwise it may easily cause secondary penile curvature.

5. Treatment and care of penis wounds. Penile wound treatment and care must be done with appropriate and complete pressure bandages to avoid bleeding, dead space, etc. Of course, corresponding preventive measures should also be taken for urethral fistula and stenosis.
