INLAY-ONLAY FLAP URETHROPLASTY FOR HYPOSPADIAS AND URETHRAL STRICTURE REPAIR

Purpose

The absence of a segment of the urethral plate renders the onlay urethroplasty procedure impossible. The plate may be too short (in hypospadias), or sacred after previous repair or due to a dense urethral stricture. A modified approach with restoration of urethral plate continuity is proposed instead of the tubularized island flap associated with higher complication rates.

Material and Methods

In 12 of 20 patients with a partially deficient urethral plate the inlay-onlay preputial island flap was used. The wider part of the flap is inlaid in place of the missing plate and anastomosed to the residual plate. Formation of the urethra is then completed with standard onlay overlapping of the flap. In another 8 patients the combined (partially tubularized in advance) tube-onlay flap was used.

Results

The inlay-onlay flap technique was used in 3 new hypospadias patients, in 4 with a scarred, hair-bearing plate after previous operations and in 5 with virtually no urethral plate because of a dense urethral stricture. No urethral complications were encountered. Of the 8 patients undergoing the combined tube-onlay repair 3 had complications, including meatal stenosis (2) and partial dehiscence (1).

Conclusions

Inlay-onlay flap urethroplasty allows correction of complex cases of hypospadias or urethral stricture with a partially deficient urethral plate in 1 stage with a low complication rate.     

A combined tubularized/onlay graft technique for total correction of severe hypospadias.

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: A combined tubularized/onlay graft technique is described for the complete correction of chordee with urethroplasty in a single stage in cases of severe hypospadias. METHODS: Twenty-two patients with severe hypospadias ranging in age from 9 months to 11 years underwent single-stage correction using a technique developed by the author. In this method, chordee is first completely excised by removing all fibrotic tissue both proximal and distal to the urethral orifice, preserving the meatal groove. A dorsolateral preputial flap is then raised and tubularized to form the neourethra. The proximal end of this tube is anastomosed to the urethral opening using a continuous absorbable suture. Two parallel incisions are made in the glans on either side of the meatal groove. The distal part of the neourethral flap is laid over the groove and sutured on either side to create the glanular part of the urethra, after which the glans is reconstructed with the new meatal opening at the tip. The neourethral suture line is covered with a layer of vascularized subcutaneous tissue to protect against fistula formation, and the rest of the preputial skin is transferred ventrally to provide cover for the penile shaft. RESULTS: There were no major complications with minimum follow-up of 20 months. Meatal stenosis developed in two patients, and one had stricture at the proximal anastomosis. These were treated successfully with minor corrective procedures. All other patients had good results, and there were no cases of fistula. CONCLUSIONS: The method described has proved successful in the surgical correction of severe hypospadias in a single stage. It is easily adapted to permit urethral reconstruction after varying degrees of tissue excision required to obtain satisfactory correction of chordee. Patients do not need to undergo multiple procedures, and no major complications were encountered in this series.

One-stage repair of moderately severe hypospadias using a transverse preputial tubularized island flap

BACKGROUND: Transverse preputial tubularized island flap (TPTIF) urethroplasty has been used for the repair of moderately severe hypospadias since Duckett described the procedure in 1980. In spite of the excellent results reported by Duckett, subsequent studies showed high complication rates. A TPTIF procedure modified to reduce the complication rate is presented. METHODS: Between 1996 and 1997, 13 boys with moderately severe hypospadias were repaired with the TPTIF procedure. Patient age ranged from 10 months to 3 years with an average age of 23 months. To prevent urethrocutaneous fistula, the neourethra was constructed with a two-layer closure and the portion of anastomosis was wrapped between the native urethra and the neourethra with the tissue of the corpus spongiosum. RESULTS: The moderately severe hypospadias was repaired without complication in 12 of 13 patients. A urethrocutaneous fistula developed at the midshaft of the penis in one patient. No meatal stenosis, urethral stricture or diverticulum developed. CONCLUSION: Transverse preputial tubularized island flap urethroplasty provided excellent cosmetic and functional results for moderately severe hypospadias, and postoperative complications could be decreased by the two-layer closure of the neourethra and application of the wrapping technique of the proximal anastomosed portion with corpus spongiosum tissue.     

Tunica vaginalis flap following ‘Tubularised Incised Plate’ urethroplasty to prevent urethrocutaneous fistulaa

Introduction:

Surgery for hypospadias has been continuously evolving, implying thereby that no single technique is perfect and suitable for all types of hypospadias. Snodgrass technique is presently the most common surgical procedure performed for hypospadias.

Materials and Methods:

We analysed the results of tunica vaginalis flap (TVF) as an additional cover to the tubularised incised plate (TIP) repair.

Results:

A total of 35 patients of hypospadias were repaired using TIP urethroplasty and TVF as a second layer. Mean age at the time of presentation was 6.63 ± 3.4 years. Post-operative complications namely wound infection, flap necrosis, scrotal haematoma, scrotal abscess, urethral fistula, meatal stenosis were recorded and analysed during follow-up period. Need for re-do surgery was considered as failure of the operative procedure. Out of 35 patients, 8 (22.85%) patients had proximal penile hypospadias and 27 (77.14%) patients had distal penile hypospadias. Mean post-operative follow-up was 24.53 months. During the follow-up complications noticed included wound infection (n = 2), urethrocutaneous fistula (n = 1) and meatal stenosis (n = 1). Wound infection was managed with appropriate antibiotics as per hospital policy/culture and sensitivity reports. Meatal stenosis responded to bougie dilatation/calibration during follow-up.

Conclusion:

To conclude, TVF as an additional cover is associated with an acceptable complication rate and good cosmetic results if performed with meticulous tissue handlingKEY WORDS: Hypospadias, tunica vaginalis flap, urethrocutaneous fistula

Use of bladder mucosal graft for urethral reconstruction

BACKGROUND: The ideal tissue for complex urethral reconstruction has yet to be determined, especially in patients with deficient preputium. The use of bladder mucosa as a free graft could be an alternative in these problem cases. METHODS: Bladder mucosa graft urethroplasty was performed on 14 patients with penoscrotal or scrotal hypospadias. The mean age of the patients was 18.7 (range 14-23) years. Ten cases were subjected to primary urethral reconstruction while four cases had previous hypospadias repair. RESULTS: Complete urethral replacement by the bladder mucosa tube was performed in six patients. Meatal problems occurred in two (33.33%) patients and proximal fistula formed in one (16.67%) patient. A bladder mucosa graft was combined with preputial or tunica vaginalis grafts distally in eight cases, and one patient in the tunica vaginalis group developed fistula at the anastomosis of the bladder mucosa and tunica vaginalis grafts. The overall complication rate was 28.6%. CONCLUSIONS: Our initial results showed that bladder mucosa grafts can be used successfully for urethral reconstruction especially when combined with preputial or tunica vaginalis grafts distally.     

Tubularized incised plate urethroplasty repair in adult hypospadias patients. Are results similar to those reported in the pediatric age group? A prospective study

ObjectiveMost studies published in the literature report on the results of tubularized incised plate urethroplasty (TIPU) for hypospadias repair in children. Hence, the objective of this study was to evaluate the results of TIPU repair in adults.Patients and methodsThe records of 60 adult patients with primary hypospadias treated with TIPU between April 2009 and May 2012 were reviewed. All the procedures were done by the same surgeon under similar conditions and using the same kind of instruments and suture material. On clinical examination, the meatal location, as well as the presence/absence of chordee and penile torsion was assessed. The quality of the spongiosum and the width of the urethral plate were evaluated intraoperatively. The postoperative complications and results were recorded and the data were analyzed.ResultsThe patients’ age ranged from 16 to 27 years with a mean of 21 years. Out of the 60 cases, 43 (72%) had distal penile, 7 (11%) mid-penile and 10 (17%) proximal hypospadias. Penile torsion was present in 10 (17%) cases with 80% having a torsion ≤45° and 20% having a torsion of 45–90°. Ventral chordee ranging from 30° to 90° was present in 14 (23%) cases. Chordee correction was possible by penile de-gloving in 4 (29%) patients (2 with distal and 2 with mid-penile hypospadias), by further mobilization of the urethral plate with the corpus spongiosum in 3 (21%) and by proximal urethral mobilization in another 6 (42%) patients with proximal hypospadias. One (7%) patient also required tunica albuginea plication. The urethral plate was wide in 22 (37%), average in 26 (43%) and narrow in 12 (20%) patients. Fifty percent of the patients with a narrow urethral plate developed complications, compared to 15% of the patients whose urethral plate had an average width and none of the patients with a wide urethral plate. The spongiosum was well developed in 38 (63%) patients, while in 11 (18%) patients each the spongiosum was moderately and poorly developed. The complication rates were significantly higher (55%) in patients with a poorly developed spongiosum as compared to those with a well-developed spongiosum. The overall complication rate was 17% including fistula in 10% of the patients (2 patients with mid-penile and 4 patients with proximal hypospadias). Meatal stenosis was found in 4 patients with distal hypospadias (7%) who responded well to meatal dilatation. The fistula cases required surgical repair with a success rate of 100%. Mean hospitalization and follow-up were 9 days and 6–24 (median 37) months, respectively.ConclusionsComplications encountered in the present study were urethral fistula and meatal stenosis with a higher incidence in patients with proximal hypospadias than reported in the literature. The important factors for the outcome of TIPU were the severity of hypospadias, the degree of curvature and the development of the spongiosum and urethral plate. Proximal hypospadias with a poor urethral plate and severe curvature in adults is not suitable for TIPU. In such cases, single-stage flap urethroplasty or two-stage buccal mucosal urethroplasty should be considered instead.

Tubularized-incised urethral plate urethroplasty: is regular dilatation necessary for success?

OBJECTIVES: To report the results of the tubularized-incised urethral plate repair of hypospadias. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twenty-seven patients (mean age 8 years, range 6-18) had their hypospadias corrected using the tubularized-incised urethral plate technique. Five patients had glanular, 16 had coronal, and two had recurrent hypospadias after a failed Mathieu repair, and four patients required a second-stage repair. The urethral plate was incised in the midline and tubularized over a suitably sized stent. In patients who required second-stage repair a Thiersch-Duplay neourethra was constructed from the hypospadiac orifice to the corona and the glanular urethra was constructed by tubularization of the incised urethral plate. RESULTS: The functional and cosmetic results were excellent. Of the first seven patients, four had a small fistula associated with meatal stenosis. By regular dilatation of the glanular urethra, all fistulae resolved spontaneously. Dilatation was instituted in all the remaining patients and no fistula or meatal stenosis occurred. Other complications included haematoma formation in one patient, urinary tract infection in another and frequent bladder spasm in two. CONCLUSIONS: The tubularized-incised urethral plate urethroplasty is a simple and versatile technique that provides an excellent cosmetic appearance of the glans. It can be applied not only for the primary repair of distal hypospadias, but also for re-operation of recurrent hypospadias. The technique is ideal for constructing a glanular urethra when the Thiersch-Duplay operation is used to repair posterior hypospadias. Regular urethral dilatation is important in preventing adhesions between both sides of the incised plate, which can result in meatal stenosis and fistula.

Tubularized incised plate urethroplasty for distal and mid-penile hypospadias

Tubularized incised plate urethroplasty was performed to repair 20 distal and 5 mid-penile hypospadias cases. In distal hypospadias repair meatal stenosis occurred in 1 patient and urethral fistula in another. The overall complication rate in this group was thus 10%. Among midpenile hypospadias cases meatal stenosis was observed in 1 (20%) patient. As a conclusion, tubularized incised plate urethroplasty was found to be a successful method for treating distal hypospadias and encouraging results were obtained in mid-penile hypospadias cases.     

Free tunica vaginalis patch in urethroplasty. An experimental study

The management of urethral strictures is a challenge for surgery. In the present study the value of tunica vaginalis tissue for urethroplasty was investigated. 30 male rabbits were divided into two groups. In group I (11 animals) a urethral defect was covered with a tunica vaginalis patch (n = 6) or was left uncovered (n = 5). In group II (19 animals) a preoperative urethral stricture was induced by electrocoagulation through a urethroscope. The strictured urethra was plastied with tunica vaginalis (n = 9) or preputial (n = 10) patches. The results were analyzed after a period of 2 weeks to 5 months with radiographic, macroscopic and microscopic methods. The tunica vaginalis graft showed its superiority over the preputial graft: only 1 postoperative short stricture from 15 plasties (6 normal and 9 strictured urethrae) was found in the plastied group, whereas 2 strictures from 10 plasties were seen in the preputial patch group. In the urethral defect group, strictures were seen in 2 of 5 animals. The mesenchymal tunica vaginalis epithelium was covered with thin transitiocellular-like epithelium resembling transitiocellular layers. The present study supports the earlier findings on the use of tunica vaginalis tissue in urethroplasty.     

Tubularized incised plate urethroplasty for proximal hypospadias

OBJECTIVE: To review our experience of using the tubularized incised plate (TIP) urethroplasty (useful in the treatment of distal hypospadias) to treat proximal hypospadias. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From March 1997 to March 2000 primary repairs were carried out on 40 boys (mean age 4.5 years) with proximal hypospadias. After degloving the penile skin the meatus was at the mid-shaft in 10 boys, at the proximal penile shaft in 11, at the penoscrotal junction in 16, at the scrotum in two and at the perineum in one. The 21 patients with a mid or proximal shaft meatus were categorized as having mid-shaft and the other 19 as having posterior hypospadias. Tunica albuginea plication (TAP) was used to correct residual ventral curvature. The method of urethroplasty was adapted from that described by Snodgrass. The key step of the TIP repair is a midline incision of the urethral plate; a subcutaneous tissue flap dissected from the inner prepuce is used to cover the neourethra. An 8 or 10 F nasogastric tube is used as a urethral stent and removed 7 or 8 days after surgery. Follow-up endoscopy and urethral sounding were carried out in 17 of the patients aged < 6 years; the mean follow-up was 12.5 months. RESULTS: TAP was used to correct penile curvature in nine (23%) of the patients. Excluding stenosis, the TIP repair was successful in 20 (90%) of those with mid-shaft and in 16 of the 19 with posterior hypospadias; for all complications the respective rates were 19 of 22 and 15 of 19. The overall success rate was 88% for all 40 patients with proximal hypospadias; a urethrocutaneous fistula occurred in two of those with mid-shaft and three of those with posterior hypospadias. Urethral meatal stenosis occurred in four (12%) of the patients (two in each group); two were associated with a fistula and the other two had only mild meatal stenosis. The overall complication rate was 17.5% (three and four in the mid and the posterior hypospadias groups, respectively). The meatal stenosis was managed by simple dilatation in three and meatoplasty in one patient. Endoscopically, the mucosa of neourethra was pink and smooth in all 17 patients assessed. The calibre of all 17 neourethra was > or = 8 F and in 13 was > or = 10 F. CONCLUSION: TIP repair is a reliable method for treating both mid-shaft and posterior hypospadias.     

成人尿道下裂分期手术探讨

目的:探讨成人尿道下裂分期手术的必要性,提高成人尿道下裂的手术成功率。方法:回顾性分析我院泌尿外科2004年1月至2012年1月收治成人尿道下裂患者52例。52例男性患者,平均年龄22岁,所有患者过去均有尿道成形手术史,患者局部阴茎皮肤有瘢痕组织,均有阴茎下弯。术中行阴茎包皮脱鞘切除腹侧瘢痕纤维索带切断尿道板,仍存在阴茎下弯患者行阴茎背侧海绵体白膜折叠伸直阴茎,伸直阴茎后前尿道缺损长度占阴茎长度比例大于50%。根据术中是否行分期手术将患者分为两组,1组(20例)患者行I期包皮带蒂皮瓣卷管术尿道成型,2组(32例)患者阴茎伸直后将整个阴茎多余包皮转移至腹侧,做成形缝合为II期尿道成型预留尿道板,6¹2个月后行阴茎腹侧皮管卷管尿道成形术。结果:两组患者分别在Ⅰ期和Ⅱ期尿道成形术后发生尿瘘比例为50%、21.9%,尿道狭窄15%、9.4%,伤口感染30%、25%,尿道裂开20%、12.5%,尿道成形手术成功率分别为25%、56.3%。两组尿道成形术后发生尿瘘和尿道成形成功率的差异有统计学意义(P<0.05),术后发生尿道狭窄、伤口感染及尿道裂开并发症的差异无统计学意义。结论:对有尿道下裂手术史的成人患者,尤其对那些阴茎下弯明显,前尿道缺损长且局部包皮材料不足的患者分期手术更适合,Ⅱ期尿道成形的成功率得到提高。     

One-Stage Anterior Urethroplasty

Purpose

A deficient urethral segment was replaced with penile skin during a 1-stage procedure in patients with a long, tight urethral stricture, multiple attempts at hypospadias repair or severe hypospadias and circumcision.

Materials and Methods

In 29 patients a pedicled circumferential strip of distal penile skin was used to construct a neourethral floor. The roof was formed by regeneration of the epithelium from the edges of the floor over Buck's fascia. In our series the urethra was reconstructed because of an anterior urethral stricture in 11 patients, multiple failed hypospadias repairs in 6 and severe hypospadias with circumcision in 12.

Results

A neourethra of sufficient caliber and length was constructed with minimal postoperative complications in all patients. There were 2 cases of urethrocutaneous fistula at the subcoronal region, 1 meatal stenosis, 1 persistent chordee and 1 small distal penile skin patch slough that required only prolonged dressings. Mean followup was 19 months.

Conclusion

Our urethroplasty technique can be used to correct various types of anterior urethral stricture or hypospadias associated with insufficient penile or preputial skin.
