Nueva técnica de fijación de dartos en la reparación de hipospadias / A novel triple dartos fixation in hypospadias repair

Objetivo Este estudio investiga el impacto del uso de la cobertura de dartos para aumentar la neouretra en los resultados funcionales y cosméticos. Evaluar una técnica novedosa que demuestra cómo fijar la cobertura de dartos como cobertura de barrera de la neouretra en la corrección de hipospadias. Pacientes y métodos Este estudio se realizó en 204 pacientes varones, todos con diferentes grados de hipospadias (HPD: 132, hipospadias coronal: 46 y HPM: 26). Sus edades oscilaban entre 1-23 años (edad media: 2 años). Había incurvación ventral (chorda) en (HPD: 45, hipospadias coronal: 33 y HPM: 26). Todos los pacientes tenían un chorro urinario anormal dirigido hacia abajo. La corrección del hipospadias se realizó mediante la técnica TIP clásica, además de nuestra novedosa modificación con cobertura de dartos. El seguimiento se realizó durante 5 años mediante evaluaciones clínicas de los parámetros funcionales y cosméticos. Resultados Se registraron tasas de éxito en 200 pacientes, 3 pacientes tuvieron complicaciones con una fístula uretrocutánea subcoronal y un paciente presentó la pérdida completa de la reparación. Conclusión La fijación triple de dartos es una técnica sencilla con la que todos los hipospadiólogos pueden reducir la fístula uretrocutánea como complicación común de la corrección de hipospadias con unos buenos resultados funcionales y cosméticos (AU)

Objective This study investigates the impact of the use of dartos covering to augment the neourethra on functional and cosmetic results. To evaluate a novel technique demonstrating how to fix dartos flap to cover the neourethra as a barrier in hypospadias repair. Patients and methods This study comprised 204 male patients with different degree of hypospadias (DPH: 132, coronal hypospadias: 46, MPH: 26). Their ages ranged from 1-23 ys (mean age: 2ys). Penile chordee was in (DPH: 45, coronal hypospadias: 33, MPH: 26). All patients had abnormal downward directed urinary stream. Hypospadias repair was performed by the classic TIP technique in addition to our novel modification of dartos covering. Patients were submitted to 5 years of follow-up including clinical examination of the functional and cosmetic parameters. Results Success rates were reported in 200 patients, 3 patients had complications with subcoronal urethrocutaneous fistula and one patient with complete repair disruption. Conclusion Triple dartos fixation is a simple technique for all hypospadiologists to minimize urethrocutaneous fistula as common complication of hypospadias repair with good functional and cosmetic results (AU)

A novel triple dartous fixation in hypospadias repair.

OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the impact of the use of dartos covering to augment the neourethra on functional and cosmetic results. To evaluate a novel technique demonstrating how to fix dartos flap to cover the neourethra as a barrier in hypospadias repair. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study comprised 204 male patients with different degree of hypospadias (DPH = 132, coronal hypospadias = 46, MPH = 26). Their ages ranged from 1 to 23 ys (mean age = 2 ys). Penile chordee was in (DPH = 45, coronal hypospadias = 33, MPH = 26). All patients had abnormal downward directed urinary stream. Hypospadias repair was performed by the classic TIP technique in addition to our novel modification of dartos covering. Patients were submitted to 5 years of follow-up including clinical examination of the functional and cosmetic parameters. RESULTS: Success rates were reported in 200 patients, 3 patients had complications with subcoronal urethrocutaneous fistula and one patient with complete repair disruption. CONCLUSION: Triple dartos fixation is a simple technique for all hypospadiologists to minimize urethrocutaneous fistula as common complication of hypospadias repair with good functional and cosmetic results.
