Anatomical and intraoperative predictors of surgical complications after distal hypospadias repair with foreskin reconstruction: a prospective study
Prolonged ischemic time, shorter penile length, more proximal distal meatal position, asymmetric prepuce and older age at surgery are independent predictors of postoperative complications and reoperations after distal hypospadias repair with foreskin reconstruction. Careful preoperative assessment, minimizing intraoperative ischemic duration, and considering earlier surgery before 2 years of age may improve both functional and cosmetic outcomes.
