Patient's question:
In September 2008, Director Xu and Dr. Xie performed the surgery for you. Three months after the surgery, you started experiencing leakage of urine below the corona, which is at the surgical interface. When you urinate, the normal urethral opening forms a line, while the leaking area also forms a line, but everything else is normal. The urine stream is also thick, and you can urinate far. What should you do?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 expression of intersex. The repair and reconstruction of hypospadias require various surgical techniques. Most surgeons advocate for early surgery. The surgical age can be advanced to 6 months to avoid affecting the child's physical and mental health. If there is postoperative leakage, it is important to seek medical treatment promptly.
