What are the complications after hypospadias surgery in children?

Patient's question:

The child next door was born with hypospadias. After treatment, the results are not very good now. I want to do a handover for the baby. Could you please tell me what are the possible complications after hypospadias surgery for the baby?

Doctor's answer:

Hypospadias in children is one of the four most common congenital developmental deformities in pediatric urology. Surgical treatment includes staged repair, staged hypospadias repair, and one-stage urethroplasty. Staged repair refers to correcting the penile curvature in the first stage, followed by urethroplasty 6 months to 1 year later. One-stage urethroplasty includes penile curvature correction, urethral reconstruction, meatus and glans formation, coverage of the penile ventral wound, and scrotal reconstruction.
