Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of labial mucosa graft coupled preputial island flap urethroplasty for recurrent penile curvature after hypospadias repair.Methods:The data of 35 patients with recurrent penile curvature after hypospadias repair who underwent labial mucosa graft coupled preputial island flap urethroplasty in four hospitals from January 2021 to March 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. The median age of the patients was 15(13, 18)years old, five of them had penile dehiscence, and four had urethrocutaneous fistula. All patients received labial mucosa graft coupled preputial island flap urethroplasty, the penile flexion was confirmed by artificial erection test, and the urethra is obliquely cut at the most obvious curvature of the penis. By removing the ventral fibrotic scar tissue, the length of the urethral defect was measured. The urethral plate was reconstructed with the same length of labial mucosa graft and an adjacent preputial island flap was transplanted to cover the reconstructed urethra plate to form a new urethral lumen. The inner urethral stent tube was extracted three days after the operation, and the outer urethral stent tube was removed three weeks after the surgery. Diagnostic urethral exploration was performed 5 weeks post-operation, uroflowmetry examination was performed seven weeks after the procedure, and the perioperative and postoperative follow-up data were analyzed.Results:All patients underwent a successful surgery, with the average duration of the procedure being (114.7±20.1)minutes. After mean follow-up of (15.5±5.9)months, no penile curvature occurred, and 32 patients were successfully repaired. Uroflowmetry examination was achieved in 21 patients at the seventh week after surgery showed their mean maximum flow rate was (18.4±3.7)ml/s. Three cases (8.6%, 3/35) developed urethrocutaneous fistula, who were repaired successfully 6 months after surgery.Conclusions:Utilizing the combination of labial mucosa grafts and preputial island flaps for urethroplasty has been proven to be a reliable and safe option for individuals with recurrent penile curvature following hypospadias repair, with a high success rate and few complications.
