If i was born with hypospadius. Does that at all matter to the difficulty of any procedure i am interested in doing ?
Fabian

Good afternoon Fabian,

Thank you for your interest in what we do.  Dr. Whitehead is retiring and is referring prospective patients to my practice.   We both have been doing phalloplasty procedures for over 20 years.

Usually hypospadiacs can have the procedure without difficulty.  Did one such case last week.  The key, is whether you can apply traction to your penis. In his regard, I ask all penile lengthening patients to order traction kits (the Grip is recommended) and try it for several weeks before surgery to make sure, this is for you.

Cordially,

by Drs. Sava Perovic, Rados Djinovic, Tomovic, Milosavljevic, and Barbagli.   223 patients were treated for previouisly failed hypospadias repair.  One or 2 stage buccal mucosa repair was the mainstay of stricture management.  The mean followup was 41 months, and successful repair was achieved in 209 patients.  7 patients who had developed post-operative fistula were treated by secondary surgery.

As reported by Dr. Burgu, Soygur, and Yaman from Turkey  in previously circumcised patient.  Complication rates of about 20% include urethrocutaneous fistula, meatal stenosis, failure to advance meatus all the way to the head, and residual curvature.
