ABSTRACTBackground
and objectives: The aim of Hypospadias repair surgery is normal micturition without spraying, a straight erection and
aesthetic satisfaction. The rate of febrile urinary tract infections in boys
who underwent reconstruction surgery for hypospadias was explored in this
clinical trial.
Methods: In this
clinical trial; 40 male patients who were diagnosed with hypospadias were
underwent primary surgery for urethral reconstruction.
The patients were followed-up for possible
development of febrile urinary tract infection for two weeks following reconstruction
surgery from June 2019 to December 2019.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 5.5 (SD: 3.56) ranged from 1-12
years. The types of hypospadias were sub-coronal (26, 65 %), coronal (11,
27.5%), mid-shaft (1, 2.5%), and proximal penile shaft (2, 5%). The study
revealed that 4 and 5 patients had once and twice previous hypospadias
surgeries.
Antibiotics were used intraoperatively, and
postoperatively (95.0% and 100%), respectively. The most frequently used
catheters were Foley ḟ 6 (57.5%) and Foley ḟ12 (17.5%) for 7 to 10 days,
lubricants used for all patients. The study revealed that two patients
developed fever, dysuria and urgency to urinate equally (5%), two patients
developed frequency (5%). Urine culture sensitivity and complete blood count
tests were performed for two patients with abnormal general urine examination.
The E. coli growth was observed in the culture of both patients and elevated
white blood count in one patient.
Conclusions: This study showed that reconstruction surgery for hypospadias has a
low rate of febrile UTI following two weeks post operatively.
