Main Article Content
Abstract
Aim: The aim of the present study was to review our experience with the use of longitudinal dorsal island flap (LDIF) for single-stage mid and proximal penile hypospadias repairs.
Methods:A retrospective study of 40 cases of hypospadias both mid and proximal penile variety of all children operated in Paediatric Surgery department of Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata from July 2022 to July 2023.
Results: The average age of the patients at surgery was 9.21±6.12 years. The position of the urethral meatus was proximal penile type in 22 patients and mid penile type in 18.There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of age and type of hypospadias.
UC Fistulas and Complete dehiscence were noted in 2 cases each and torsion was noted in one case. 35 patients showed good follow-up.
Conclusion: Over a follow-up of 1 year we report that LDIF for single-stage mid and proximal penile hypospadias repair has good success rate and fewer complications.
