Patient's question:
I don't know which hospital in Chongqing is the best for treating hypospadias. How old should the child be for the surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, urethroplasty corrects penile curvature using a method opposite to the Nesbit technique without shortening the penile length. It involves releasing the superficial layer of the tunica albuginea on the ventral side of the corpus cavernosum, ensuring thorough correction of the penile bend. The urethral meatus is reconstructed using the glans splitting technique, which not only aligns with physiological conditions but also prevents urethral meatal stenosis.After urethroplasty, the foreskin and penile skin are fully freed and flattened, then spirally wrapped around the penile wound. The flap maintains good blood circulation, reducing the risk of penile torsion. The penile bend correction and urethroplasty are performed simultaneously, making full use of the penile and foreskin skin, eliminating the need for grafting foreign tissues from the patient. This approach minimizes postoperative complications, thereby reducing patient pain and medical costs.
