What is the cause of necrosis after hypospadias surgery in children?

Patient's question:

My child is now four years old and had surgery a month ago. After the surgery, it was discovered that the skin had necrotized. Now that they have been discharged, the surgical wound is not healing well. Why is this happening? Is this a common issue? Will it have a significant impact on future surgeries?

Doctor's answer:

Hello. It's a pleasure to assist you. According to your description, a four-year-old boy suffers from hypospadias. There is no specific medication for it. A month ago, after surgery, skin necrosis was discovered. Now he has been discharged, but the surgical wound is not healing well. This may be due to the following reasons. First, postoperative infection should be considered. Second, the child's special constitution should be taken into account. The condition of the child may affect the next surgery.
