Trend for hypospadias repair among surgeons in Saudi Arabia: Insights and recommendations.
Urology Annals 2023
BACKGROUND: Currently, there are many techniques available for repairing hypospadias in urogenital reconstructive surgery.
AIM: The purpose of this survey is to determine the preferred age of hypospadias repair patients, as well as the preferred surgical techniques among Saudi urologic and pediatric surgeons.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: An E-mail questionnaire was sent to urologic and pediatric surgeons throughout Saudi Arabia.
RESULTS: Forty-six participants from the Saudi regions returned completed questionnaires. Sixty-five percent of participants preferred age to do surgery on 6-18 months. While, 50% preferred meatal advancement and glanduloplasty techniques for coronal/glandular hypospadias, and 46% participate that tubularized incised plate (TIP). It was found that 86% of the participants admitted to using TIP procedure for subcoronal/distal penile hypospadias, whereas the majority of them (63%) used TIP for midpenile/proximal hypospadias with significant value P < 0.05. Ninety-eight percentage of surgeons stated that they prefer performing the chordee repair simultaneously. As a final note, 91% of participants have been omitted preoperative androgen in their protocols.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION: We concluded from the surgeons' preferences regarding hypospadias repair in this study, that their preferences are highly successful rate and have few complications; however, we highly recommend using this study as a basis for future studies.
