Hypospadias Repair

Hypospadias Repair in Mukundapur, Kolkata

Hypospadias is a congenital condition that affects male children. Here, the opening of the penis, called the meatus, does not form properly at the tip of the penis. Instead, it forms near the head, along the shaft or the junction of the penis and scrotum. This can affect the flow of urine and disrupt the flow of semen in later years. Hypospadias may also cause penile curvature and malformation of the scrotum. 

Hypospadias repair is a surgical procedure that corrects hypospadias.

Hypospadias can also be a part of disorders called ‘Disorders of Sex Differentiation’.

Who Needs to Undergo Hypospadias Repair?

Hypospadias can range from mild to severe. While mild cases do not need surgical intervention, it is crucial for more severe cases. This procedure is usually performed in a child aged between 6 months and 2 years, and the goal is to restore proper urine flow, correct appearance and facilitate proper semen flow in later stages of life. Hypospadias repair will also be required alongside procedures for correcting penile curvature and transposition of the scrotum.

Benefits of Hypospadias Repair

Some of the benefits of hypospadias repair include:

  • Corrected Urinary Function: This surgery leads to proper positioning of the meatus, which helps in proper urine flow, thereby preventing issues like dribbling or urinary tract obstruction. 

  • Facilitating Healthy Sexual Development: As this procedure is typically performed in early childhood, it helps promote healthy sexual development and reduce the risk of complications in the long run. 

  • Enhanced Self-esteem: Hypospadias repair can significantly improve the child’s self-esteem and long-term health. 

  • Reduced Psychological Impact: Performing the surgery in infancy or early childhood helps avoid any psychological impact of the condition later in life.

FAQ's

This is performed in male children during their infancy or early childhood, typically when they are between the ages of 6 months to 2 years old.

The duration of the procedure depends on the severity of the case. While mild cases of hypospadias do not usually require treatment, the procedure takes around 1 to 2 hours to be completed.

Post-surgery recovery may take a few weeks, with most patients achieving full recovery within 6 weeks. Proper sanitation, wound dressing and follow-up appointments should be maintained for optimum recovery and avoiding infections.

While this is generally a safe and routine procedure, some risks, like infection of the incision site, post-surgical pain, fistula formation, and re-occurrence of penile curvature, are some associated risks. However, these risks are rare.
