Patient's question:
In September 2008, Director Xu and Dr. Xie performed the surgery for you. Three months after the surgery, leakage occurred below the coronal sulcus, which is at the surgical interface. During urination, the normal urethral opening showed a single line, while the leakage area also showed a single line, with everything else being normal. The urine stream was also thick and could be urinated far. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Hypospadias is a common congenital malformation of the male lower urinary tract and external genitalia. The urethral meatus is located on the ventral side of the penis, near the normal proximal urethral meatus at the perineum. Most cases are accompanied by incomplete penile development. It is one of the most common congenital anomalies of the pediatric urogenital system. Hypospadias can be a single defect or a more complex issue, such as a phenotypic manifestation of intersexuality. The repair and reconstruction of hypospadias require various surgical techniques. Most surgeons advocate for early surgery, with the age of surgery potentially being advanced to 6 months to avoid affecting the child's physical and mental health. If there is leakage of urine postoperatively, it is important to seek medical attention promptly for diagnosis and treatment.
