Int Wound J 2023; 20:3073-3080. [PMID: 37095731 PMCID: PMC10502256 DOI: 10.1111/iwj.14182] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2023] [Revised: 03/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/27/2023] [Indexed: 04/26/2023] Open
Abstract
A meta-analysis investigation to measure the influence of the usage of postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis (POP) compared with non-usage for stented distal hypospadias repair (SDHR). A comprehensive literature inspection till February 2023 was applied and 1067 interrelated investigations were reviewed. The 10 chosen investigations enclosed 1398 individuals with SDHR in the chosen investigations starting point, 812 of them were using POP, and 586 were not using POP. Odds ratio (OR) in addition to 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to compute the value of the effect of the usage of POP compared with non-usage for SDHR by the dichotomous and continuous approaches and a fixed or random model. No significant difference was found between individuals using POP and not using POP in posthypospadias repair problem (PRP) (OR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.42-2.34, P = .97) with moderate heterogeneity (I2 = 69%), posthypospadias repair infection problem (PRIP) (OR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.30-1.06, P = .08) with no heterogeneity (I2 = 15%), and overall composite posthypospadias repair wound healing associated problem (OCPRWHAP) (OR, 1.27; 95% CI, 0.61-2.63, P = .53) with moderate heterogeneity (I2 = 59%) for SDHR. No significant difference was found between individuals using POP and not using POP in PRP, PRIP, and OCPRWHAP for SDHR. However, cautilised of the small sample sizes of several chosen investigations for this meta-analysis, care must be exercised when dealing with its values, for example, the low P-value of the PRIP.

Abstract
A meta-analysis investigation was performed to measure the influence of cortical bone trajectory screw fixation (CBTSF) and traditional pedicle screw fixation (TPSF) on surgical site wound infection (SSWI) in posterior lumbar fusion (PLF). A comprehensive literature inspection till February 2023 was applied and 1657 interrelated investigations were reviewed. The 13 chosen investigations enclosed 1195 individuals with PLF in the chosen investigations' starting point, 578 of them were using CBTSF, and 617 were using TPSF. Odds ratio (OR) in addition to 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were utilised to compute the value of the effect of the CBTSF and TPSF on SSWI in PLF by the dichotomous approaches and a fixed or random model. No significant difference was found between individuals using CBTSF and TPSF in SSWI (OR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.35-1.33, P = .26), superficial SSWI (OR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.22-1.79, P = .38), and deep SSWI (OR, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.06-1.50, P = .14) in PLF. No significant difference was found between individuals using CBTSF and TPSF in SSWI, superficial SSWI, and deep SSWI in PLF. However, care must be exercised when dealing with its values because of the small sample sizes of several chosen investigations for this meta-analysis and the low number of selected investigations for a certain type of SSWI.

Abstract
In the era of antibiotic overuse and increasing antibiotic resistance, there is a gap in evidence regarding antibiotic stewardship, and in particular, perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis after urethral reconstruction. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effectiveness and relevance of postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis after male pediatric and adult urethral reconstruction. An online search of MEDLINE database via PubMed was performed. The systematic review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022348555) and was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines and AMSTAR 2 checklist. A narrative synthesis of included studies was performed. After the screening of 1176 publications, six studies regarding antibiotic prophylaxis after hypospadias reconstruction and two studies regarding antibiotic prophylaxis after urethroplasty in adults were eligible to be included in the systematic review. All but one of the studies on hypospadias repair showed no benefit from postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis. The level of evidence on postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis after urethroplasty in adults is low. Neither of the two studies included in the review showed a benefit from antibiotic use. Postoperative prophylaxis after hypospadias repair is not effective in preventing urinary tract infections and wound infections. It seems that the use of postoperative prophylaxis after urethroplasty in adults is also not beneficial, but there is a high need for high-quality scientific data.

Randomized trial of prophylactic antibiotics vs. placebo after midshaft-to-distal hypospadias repair: the PROPHY Study. J Pediatr Urol 2022; 18:171-177. [PMID: 35144885 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpurol.2022.01.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2021] [Revised: 01/11/2022] [Accepted: 01/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Use of prophylactic antibiotics after stented hypospadias repair is very common, but most research has not identified any clinical benefits of this practice. Only one study has found that postoperative prophylaxis reduces symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTIs). Data from the same trial suggested that prophylaxis may also reduce urethroplasty complications. No studies on this subject have been placebo-controlled. OBJECTIVE We performed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effect of postoperative prophylactic antibiotics on the incidence of infection or urethroplasty complications after stented repair of midshaft-to-distal hypospadias. STUDY DESIGN Boys were eligible for this multicenter trial if they had a primary, single-stage repair of mid-to-distal hypospadias with placement of an open-drainage urethral stent for an intended duration of 5-10 days. Participants were randomized in a double-blind fashion to receive oral trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole or placebo twice daily for 10 days postoperatively. The primary outcome was a composite of symptomatic UTI, surgical site infection (SSI), and urethroplasty complications, including urethrocutaneous fistula, meatal stenosis, and dehiscence. Secondary outcomes included each component of the primary outcome as well as acute adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and C. difficile colitis. RESULTS Infection or urethroplasty complications occurred in 10 of 45 boys (22%) assigned to receive antibiotic prophylaxis as compared with 5 of 48 (10%) who received placebo (relative risk [RR], 2.1; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.8 to 5.8; p = 0.16). There were no significant differences between groups in symptomatic UTIs, SSIs, or any urethroplasty complications. Mild ADRs occurred in 3 of 45 boys (7%) assigned to antibiotics as compared with 5 of 48 (10%) given placebo (RR, 0.6; 95% CI, 0.2 to 2.5; p = 0.72). There were no moderate-to-severe ADRs, and no patients developed C. difficile colitis. CONCLUSIONS In this placebo-controlled trial of 93 patients, prophylactic antibiotics were not found to reduce infection or urethroplasty complications after stented mid-to-distal hypospadias repair. The study did not reach its desired sample size and was therefore underpowered to independently support a conclusion that prophylaxis is not beneficial. However, the result is consistent with most prior research on this subject. GOV IDENTIFIER NCT02096159.

J Pediatr Urol 2021; 17:256.e1-256.e5. [PMID: 33349560 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpurol.2020.11.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2020] [Revised: 11/06/2020] [Accepted: 11/25/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE There is limited evidence that prophylactic antibiotics prevent surgical site infection in stented, distal hypospadias repair. Our hypothesis is that the use of prophylactic antibiotics does not affect the rate of surgical site infection in this setting. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of consecutive patients over a 6-year period with distal penile hypospadias treated with urethral stenting. Variables analyzed include age, type of repair, usage of preoperative and/or postoperative antibiotics, and length of follow-up. Patients with a history of proximal or re-operative hypospadias repair were excluded. Surgical site infection was defined by the presence of postoperative penile erythema and/or purulent drainage treated with therapeutic antibiotics. Secondary outcome analysis included the presence of other hypospadias complications. RESULTS 441 consecutive subjects met our inclusion criteria with a mean age of 13.3 months. Patients were categorized into groups: Group 1 - Preoperative antibiotics (n = 64), Group 2 - Both Preoperative & Postoperative antibiotics (n = 159), Group 3 - Postoperative antibiotics (n = 122), Group 4 - No Preoperative or Postoperative antibiotics (n = 96). Two surgical site infections were reported out of the 441 patients: 1 in Group 3 and 1 in Group 4 (p = 0.513). There was no significant difference in the total patients with a hypospadias complication between groups. In the table below, Groups 1-3 were combined (345 patients) for comparison to Group 4 (No antibiotics, 96 patients) for further analysis with no difference in SSIs (p = 0.388) or respective hypospadias complications. CONCLUSIONS The use of perioperative prophylactic antibiotics, both before and after surgery for distal, stented hypospadias repair, have not been shown to reduce the rate of surgical site infections nor hypospadias complications. Consequently, the benefit of prophylactic antibiotics in this setting is unclear.

Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to describe single-stage urethroplasty and to determine factors associated with urethrocutaneous fistula after the procedure at our institution. Methods: All hypospadias patients without any prior surgery who underwent single-stage urethroplasty from July 2010 to January 2018 were included. In total, 179 patients were followed for at least one year postoperatively. Information on types of hypospadias, operation techniques, chordee degree, preoperative pyuria (urine white blood cell count >5/HPF), urethral defect length and urethrocutaneous fistula formation was collected. Results: We obtained 103 cases of posterior (57.5%), middle (57 cases) and anterior (19 cases) hypospadias on whom onlay preputial island flap (71 cases), tubularized incised plate (46 cases) and Duckett’s transverse preputial island flap (35 cases) were conducted. After 47.1±25.8 months of follow-up, urethrocutaneous fistula were found in 23 (12.8%) patients associated with posterior hypospadias occurrence ( p=0.025), longer urethral defect ( p=0.007) and preoperative pyuria ( p<0.001). Chordee degree ( p=0.886) and age ( p=0.187) were not significant factors associated with urethrocutaneous fistula formation. Conclusion: Single-stage urethroplasty is a versatile procedure for various hypospadias cases, with a urethrocutaneous fistula rate of 12.8%. Posterior hypospadias, preoperative pyuria and longer urethral defect were associated with urethrocutaneous fistula formation. Level of evidence Level 2B.

Abstract
Surgeons instruct the patients to avoid postoperative bathing and dress the wounds until the sutures are removed. All wounds were sutured at the end of surgery and kept undressed. Participants received a tap water body bath where the water covered the wound after 24h of surgery. The control group were asked not to wet the dressed surgical site until wound inspection on days 3 and 5. The patients were followed up in the surgery clinic on days 14 and 30 after surgery, when age, sex and type of surgery-matched controls' surgical site infection was significantly high in clean/contaminated and contaminated appendicectomy, breast lump excision, inguinal herniotomy and tendon repair surgeries. In contaminated appendicectomy, clean/contaminated and contaminated herniotomies postsurgical infections other than surgical site infection were significantly low in test groups. Early mobilisation, keeping the surgical wounds moist and providing a clean environment are suitable to minimise the surgical wound and other associated infections.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The current literature on the use of antibiotics perioperatively for many pediatric procedures, including hypospadias, is inconsistent. There is currently no clear evidence for the use of postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis for stented distal hypospadias repair. OBJECTIVE This study aims to synthesize and assess the available literature on the use versus non-use of postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis for stented distal hypospadias repair. METHODOLOGY Systematic literature search was performed on March 2018 for evaluation of trials that assessed the use and non-use of postoperative prophylactic antibiotics among stented distal hypospadias repair in children. Methodological quality of the studies was assessed according to the study design as recommended by the Cochrane Collaboration. The outcome assessed includes composite overall posthypospadias repair complications of infection and wound healing complications. The event rate for each treatment group was extracted to extrapolate intervention relative risk (RR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI). Mantel-Haenszel method with random effect model was used in pooling of effect estimates from the included studies. Heterogeneity was assessed with subgroup analysis performed according to the study design. Publication bias was likewise determined. The protocol of this review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42018087301) and reported in accordance with preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. RESULT A total of seven studies (four cohorts, three randomized controlled trials) with 986 stented distal hypospadias repairs (408 with no post-operative prophylactic antibiotics and 578 given postoperative prophylactic antibiotics) were included for the meta-analysis. Moderate to serious risk of bias was noted among the cohort studies, while the included randomized controlled trials (RCT) were of high risk of bias. Inconsistencies of effect estimates between subgroups and publication bias with small study effect were likely present. The overall pooled effect estimates comparing treatment groups showed no significant difference for outcomes of overall composite postoperative complication (RR 0.93, 95% CI 0.45, 1.93). Assessment of composite infection related complications and wound healing complications likewise did not show any significant between-group differences (RR 1.28, 95% CI 0.49, 3.35 and RR 1.01, 95% CI 0.48, 2.12; respectively) (Table). Asymptomatic bacteriuria was noted to be significantly higher among the intervention group with no postoperative prophylactic antibiotics (RR 4.01, 95% CI 1.11, 14.54). CONCLUSION The available evidence to date was assessed to be of high risk. The low level of evidence generated suggests that there is limited utility in the use of postoperative prophylactic antibiotics to prevent clinically significant posthypospadias repair complications.

Preoperative Illnesses in Children Do Not Increase the Risk of Complications After Hypospadias Repair. Pediatr Infect Dis J 2019; 38:104-109.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative illnesses might induce immunosuppression and subsequently increase morbidity after surgery. Several studies have tried to identify risk factors for complications after hypospadias correction, but effects of illnesses in the weeks just before surgery are unknown. We aimed to determine the associations between preoperative illnesses not severe enough to postpone surgery and short-term complications after hypospadias repair in children. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, data were collected from 681 children with anterior or middle type hypospadias that had initial 1-stage repair in the period 1983-2012 in the Radboudumc, The Netherlands. The associations between common illnesses, such as common cold, fever and ear infection, within 2 weeks before repair, and postoperative complications, such as urethrocutaneous fistula, wound dehiscence and stenosis, within 2 months and 1 year after surgery, were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression analyses. RESULTS Of the 681 boys, 22% had preoperative illnesses, most often common cold, and 14% had postoperative complications. Children with preoperative illnesses had fewer postoperative complications within 2 months (n = 13, 9%) than children without preoperative illnesses (n = 79, 16%), resulting in a 50% risk reduction (odds ratio: 0.49; 95% confidence interval: 0.26-0.93). Preoperative infections (common cold, fever and ear infection), in particular, reduced the risk of postoperative infections (wound and urinary tract infections; odds ratio: 0.37; 95% confidence interval: 0.14-0.98). Results were similar for complications within 1 year. CONCLUSIONS Common preoperative illnesses not severe enough to postpone surgery did not increase the postoperative complication risk and even seemed to have a protective effect, especially for postoperative infections. Consequently, there is no reason to alter preoperative screening.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Although there is abundance in literature focusing on the use of prophylactic antibiotics for adult urological procedures, the evidence for using antibiotics following common pediatric urological procedures is limited with no specific guidelines for use. Consequently, current practices on antibiotic usage for common interventions may be variable among practicing pediatric urologists, lacking evidence-based support. OBJECTIVE The aim was to evaluate the current practice pattern on antibiotic usage for common interventions amongst pediatric urologists (PU) practicing in four English-speaking sectors of the world. MATERIALS AND METHODS An anonymous survey of five scenarios with multiple choice options was disseminated to all active practicing members of the Pediatric Urologist of Canada (PUC) and Society of Pediatric Urology of Australia and New Zealand (SPUNZA), as well as all those attending the 2016 British Association of Pediatric Urology (BAPU) and 2017 American Association of Pediatric Urology (AAPU) meetings. The response for each scenario was summarized for overall practice pattern variation and the pattern for each sector was compared using the Fisher exact test. RESULTS A total of 126 respondents completed the survey (68.5% response rate) with at least a 65% response rate for each of the four sectors. The majority of respondents do not use antibiotics for indwelling urethral (46.8%) and suprapubic catheters (53.4%); however, they do give antibiotics for J-J stent placement (65.1%) and hypospadias surgery (84.9%), and use antibiotics after hypospadias surgery where catheters or stents are left indwelling (80.9%, 84.2%, respectively). Among those surveyed, the PUC members and AAPU PU demonstrated similar practice patterns which often significantly differed from that of SPUNZA members and BAPU attendees. Specifically, a significantly larger proportion of the North American pediatric urologists do not use antibiotics for common procedures compared with Australia, New Zealand, and the UK (Table). DISCUSSION In the absence of prospective studies in antibiotic use for pediatric patients to guide clinicians, there is a clear variability among sectors in the use of antibiotics for most clinical scenarios investigated. With increasing resistance patterns and possible adverse effects of antibiotics, it is important that the international pediatric urology community engage in discussions and collaborations to address this issue. CONCLUSION Practice patterns in antibiotic usage amongst PU varies widely, some of which may be associated with their local "culture." There is a need to understand these differences and begin to standardize treatment in the hopes of increasing appropriate use of antibiotics internationally.

Abstract
The usage of prophylactic oral antibiotics following distal hypospadias repair with stenting has been recently challenged. This study evaluated the incidence of symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTIs) following stented, distal hypospadias repair and the impact of prophylactic antibiotic therapy. Subjects 0 to 5 years of age with distal hypospadias were randomized to either Group 1 (antibiotics) or Group 2 (no prophylactic therapy). Urinalysis/urine culture was obtained intraoperatively with no preoperative antibiotics given. Phone interviews at 1 month and 3 months after surgery were done. Forty-eight patients were successfully randomized to either Group 1 (24) or Group 2 (24). The incidence of symptomatic UTI in this pilot study is low, and prophylactic antibiotic therapy does not appear to lower the incidence of symptomatic UTI. A larger, randomized, multicenter trial is needed to determine whether antibiotic prophylaxis reduces the risk of symptomatic UTIs following stented, distal hypospadias repair.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the impact of prophylactic antibiotics after distal hypospadias repair on postoperative bacteriuria, symptomatic urinary tract infection, and postoperative complications in a prospective, randomized trial. Materials and Methods Consecutive patients aged 6 months to 2 years were enrolled at our institution between June 2013 and May 2017. Consenting patients were randomized to antibiotic prophylaxis with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole versus no antibiotic. Patients had catheterized urine samples obtained at surgery and 6–10 days postoperatively. The primary outcome was bacteriuria and pyuria at postoperative urine collection. Secondary outcomes included symptomatic urinary tract infection and postoperative complications. Results 70 patients consented to the study, of which 35 were randomized to receive antibiotics compared to 32 who did not. Demographics, severity of hypospadias, and type of repair were similar between the groups. Patients in the treatment group had significantly less pyuria (18%) and bacteriuria (11%) present at stent removal compared to the nontreatment group (55% and 63%; p=0.01 and p < 0.001, resp.). No patient had a symptomatic urinary tract infection. There were 11 postoperative complications. Conclusions Routine antibiotic prophylaxis appears to significantly decrease bacteriuria and pyuria in the immediate postoperative period; however, no difference was observed in symptomatic urinary tract infection or postoperative complications. Clinical Trial Registration Number NCT02593903.

Abstract
Objective To compare the effect of interrupted- and continuous-suture urethroplasty on complication rates in Snodgrass tubularised incised-plate (TIP) hypospadias repair. Patients and methods This was a prospective randomised study comprising 100 boys (age range 1–5 years) with primary subcoronal, distal- and mid-penile hypospadias who underwent repair from October 2010 to March 2015 in a tertiary care hospital. Boys with glanular, recurrent, and proximal hypospadias were excluded from the study. The boys were prospectively randomised into two groups: Group A, comprised 50 boys who underwent interrupted subcuticular suture Snodgrass TIP urethroplasty; and Group B, comprised 50 boys who underwent continuous subcuticular suture Snodgrass TIP urethroplasty. Outcomes were assessed in terms of complication rates and aesthetic appearance during follow-up. Results There was no significant difference in the occurrence of complications between the groups. There were 21 complications, with 10 occurring in Group A and 11 in Group-B. Urethrocutaneous fistula was the most common complication in both groups (six in Group A and seven in Group B), the fistulae were <2 mm in nine patients and 3–5 mm in the remaining four. Partial glans dehiscence occurred in one patient in each group. One patient from each group also had superficial wound infection, meatal stenosis and urethral stricture respectively, all of which were managed conservatively. The resultant urinary stream was single and good in all patients of both groups. Conclusions The type of suture technique had no significant effect on complication rates after Snodgrass hypospadias repair and thus the choice of technique depends on surgeon preference.

Abstract
Background Current organizational guidelines regarding use of antibiotics during urinary tract catheterization are based on limited evidence and are not directly applicable to the pediatric urology population. We seek to improve understanding of this population by first evaluating current practices. This study aims to investigate practice patterns and attitudes of pediatric urologists regarding the use of antibiotics in the setting of urinary tract catheterization. Methods An online survey was sent to members of the Society for Pediatric Urology. Questionnaire sections included demographics, general questions about antibiotic use with catheterization, and specific clinical scenarios. Descriptive statistics were used, and chi-square analysis was performed to examine associations between demographics and specific responses. Results Of 448 pediatric urologists surveyed, 154 (34%) responded to the survey. A majority of surveyed urologists (78%) prescribe daily prophylactic antibiotics with a hypospadias stent in place, but extensive variation in use of antibiotics was reported with other catheters and tubes. Extensive variation in practice patterns was also reported for three case scenarios regarding antibiotic prophylaxis with catheterization. Urologists > 50 years of age and fellowship-trained urologists were more likely to prescribe antibiotics for hypospadias stents (p = 0.02, p = 0.03), but no other significant associations between demographic characteristics and antibiotic use were found. Conclusions There is substantial variation in practice patterns among surveyed pediatric urologists regarding prophylactic antibiotic use with urinary catheterization. This variation, combined with a lack of objective data and increasing pressure to decrease infectious complications and combat antibiotic resistance, highlights the need for development of management guidelines for this unique population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Doctors often use surgical antibiotic prophylaxis (SAP) despite limited evidence to support its efficacy. We sought to determine the association between SAP in children undergoing circumcision and the rate of perioperative adverse events. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a retrospective study of males >30 days old and <18 years old who underwent circumcision from 2004 to 2014 using the Pediatric Health Information System database. We excluded inpatients and those with any concomitant procedures. We used chi-square or Fisher's exact test to determine the association between SAP and allergic reaction and any of the following within 30 days: penile reoperation, hospital visit, or surgical site infection (SSI). We performed mixed effects logistic regression controlling for age, race, insurance, and clustering of similar practice patterns by hospital. RESULTS 84,226 patients were included: median age 2.2 years; 61.0% public insurance, 39.6% white. 8944 (10.6%) received SAP. On bivariate analysis, there were no associations between SAP and SSI (0.1% vs. 0.2%, p = 0.5), penile reoperation (0.01% vs. 0.04%, p = 0.4), or hospital visit (5.5% vs. 5.5%, p = 0.8). Patients who received SAP were more likely to have a perioperative allergic reaction than those who did not (3.5% vs. 2.9%, p = 0.0004). On multivariate analysis, those who received SAP had 1.5 times the odds of an allergic reaction (OR 1.5, 95% CI 1.3-1.7; p < 0.0001) and a hospital visit (OR 1.2, 95% CI 1.1-1.3; p = 0.0021) compared with those who did not (Table). DISCUSSION SAP did not decrease the risk of penile reoperation or SSI. Use of SAP was associated with an increased risk of allergic reactions and hospital visits. Strengths of the study include its large sample size, which enabled detection of rare outcomes with adequate statistical power and the generalizability of our findings to many patients and other types of procedures. Limitations include the lack of outpatient data and the possibility that we could have overestimated the incidence of allergic reactions by including patients who received epinephrine for some other reason. CONCLUSIONS We found no compelling evidence to support the use of SAP in children undergoing circumcision and it was associated with an increased risk of allergic reaction and hospital visits. This study highlights the need for specialty-specific guidelines for pediatric urologic procedures regarding the use of antibiotics for prophylaxis and for vigilant monitoring of practice variation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We sought to determine whether the use of preoperative antibiotics is effective in reducing postoperative wound infections and urinary tract infections (UTI) in hypospadias repair. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed all hypospadias repairs performed at the Montreal Children's Hospital between March 2009 and September 2012. All types of primary hypospadias repairs and redo cases were included. Patients with no adequate follow-up or with missing records of antibiotics were excluded. Preoperative antibiotics were given in the form of cefazolin (50 mg/kg intravenously) when appropriate. Postoperative oral antibiotics were administered as decided by the pediatric urologist. Primary outcomes included postoperative wound infection and UTI. Secondary outcomes included the need for reoperation of hypospadias due to urethrocutaneous fistula, meatal stenosis, urethral stricture and wound dehiscence. RESULTS In total, 157 cases of hypospadias repair were reviewed; of these 7 were excluded due to lack of follow-up. Of the remaining 150 patients, 62 received preoperative antibiotics and 88 did not. The groups were well-matched for age, hypospadias characteristics, type of repair and repair of curvature. The group that received preoperative antibiotics had a significantly higher number of stented cases (82% vs. 52% of the non-preoperative antibiotic group). Two cases of wound infection were reported (1 in the pre-operative antibiotic group and 1 in the non-preoperative antibiotic group). There was no symptomatic UTI or culture-demonstrated UTI in either group. Moreover, there was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups in terms of primary outcomes. The complication rate was 11% (17/150 repairs) and all patients needed reoperation. This study's important limitations include the rarity of studied end points combined with the small sample and the retrospective nature of our study. CONCLUSION Our findings do not support the routine use of preoperative antibiotics in hypospadias repair.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to present the "bilateral based skin flap (BILAB) technique" for patients with perineal hypospadias associated with severe deep chordee and report the follow up. OPERATIVE PRINCIPLE The short urethral plate is incised, the hypoplastic corpus spongiosum excised, the glans split in the midline, and a healthy urethral plate is reconstructed from the lateral penile skin and foreskin to the tip of the glans. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between January 2005 and December 2011, the BILAB technique was performed in 68 patients with perineal hypospadias associated with severe chordee as a one or two stage repair. The records of 63 patients who maintained regular follow up were reviewed. The new urethra was reconstructed from the new urethral plate during the same setting in 26 patients. The remaining 37 patients had the urethroplasty performed 3-6 months later as a two stage repair. Patient age ranged from 8 months and 2 years (mean 10 months). Follow-up period ranged from 18 months to 8 years (mean 43 months). RESULTS Satisfactory results were obtained in 54 patients (85%). Two children developed diverticula, two patients developed glans dehiscence, one child developed fistula, and one child had complete wound dehiscence, and urethroplasty was successfully reconstructed 6 months later. Three patients developed scar contraction 6-12 months after surgery. This was corrected by excision of the scarred intermediate layer. CONCLUSIONS The BILAB technique is a reliable technique for patients with perineal hypospadias. It produces slit like meatus at the tip of the glans. The surgeon may decide intra-operatively whether to complete the urethroplasty in one or two stages. Long term follow up until puberty is being carried out.

Abstract
Failed hypospadias refers to any hypospadias repair that leads to complications or causes patient dissatisfaction. The complication rate after hypospadias repairs ranges from 5-70%, but the actual incidence of failed hypospadias is unknown as complications can become apparent many years after surgery and series with lifelong follow-up data do not exist. Moreover, little is known about uncomplicated repairs that fail in terms of patient satisfaction. Risk factors for complications include factors related to the hypospadias (severity of the condition and characteristics of the urethral plate), the patient (age at surgery, endocrine environment, and wound healing impairment), the surgeon (technique selection and surgeon expertise), and the procedure (technical details and postoperative management). The most important factors for preventing complications are surgeon expertise (number of cases treated per year), interposition of a barrier layer between the urethroplasty and the skin, and postoperative urinary drainage. Major complications associated with failed hypospadias include residual curvature, healing complications (preputial dehiscence, glans dehiscence, fistula formation, and urethral breakdown), urethral obstruction (meatal stenosis, urethral stricture, and functional obstruction), urethral diverticula, hairy urethra, and penile skin deficiency.

Abstract
Hypospadias is one of the most common congenital malformations of the male genitalia. Severe cases present with associated curvature greater than 30° and the meatus opening proximally to the penoscrotal junction. The perioperative management of patients with primary severe hypospadias is variable. Systematic evaluation of the upper urinary tract and the search for enlarged prostatic utricles seem unnecessary in patients with isolated primary severe hypospadias, and should be limited to severe cases with associated extraurinary malformations. Detection of a disorder of sex development is key for gender assignment and prognosis, but the identification of cases warranting a full work-up and the influence of such a diagnosis on the success of hypospadias repair is controversial. Preoperative hormonal stimulation allows for penile growth irrespective of the administration route. Associated morbidity is minimal, but its influence on the success of surgery is still unknown. An age of 6-18 months is generally recommended for surgery, but no trial data support this policy. Second-layer coverage of the urethroplasty and postoperative urinary drainage seem to reduce the complications of surgery, whereas postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis and type of dressing have minimal impact on surgical success. Overall, most interventions are based on weak evidence, and their influence on the outcomes of repair is ill-defined. Clinicians should be made aware of the evidence supporting any single intervention in order to standardize their management policies. We hope the issues outlined here will prompt researchers to design new studies to address the clinically relevant questions.

Abstract
Purpose Complications in hypospadias surgery are higher than other reconstructive procedures. The incidence of complications can be reduced if proper preventive measures are taken. The review aims to highlight incidences, causes, and preventive measures of acute complications of hypospadias repair. Materials and Methods Literature reports were reviewed in Pubmed by giving the key word acute complications of hypospadias repair, wound infection, wound dehiscence, flap necrosis, edema, penile torsion, urethral fistula, bleeding and hematoma and urethral stents problems. Summaries of all articles were reviewed with full text of relevant article and results were analyzed. Results Besides mentioning the complications of hypospadias repair in individual articles on the subject, we did not come across any separate article on this subject in the published English literature. Fistula is the commonest complication followed by edema and penile torsion. Conclusions Most acute complications can be prevented with adherence to principles of plastic and microsurgery, meticulous preoperative planning, and judicious postoperative care. Deviation from these principles may lead to disaster and even failure of the repair. The aim in hypospadias surgery should be following these principles and bring down the complication rates < 5% in distal hypospadias and < 10% in proximal hypospadias.

Abstract
PURPOSE We hypothesized that there are practice variations in the use of surgical antibiotics by pediatric urologists in the United States. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 31-question online survey was distributed to members of the Society of Pediatric Urology. The questionnaire examined physician preferences for surgical antibiotic use, including indications, antibiotic selection, timing of administration, and duration. RESULTS 189 pediatric urologists responded to the survey. >85% of responders give antibiotics before open pyeloplasty, after hypospadias repair (when a urethral catheter is left in place), or perioperative or postoperative antibiotics for open neoureterocystostomy or bladder reconstructive surgery. >90% of responders do not give postoperative antibiotics to children who have undergone circumcisions, simple chordee repairs, herniorrhapies, or hydrocelectomies. For all other open, laparoscopic, and endoscopic operations, use of antibiotics varied significantly. Diverse opinions exist regarding antibiotic use, including the importance of costs, potential adverse reactions, reduction in infection risk, and antibiotic resistance. There are major differences in gentamicin dosing and timing of administration of perioperative antibiotics. CONCLUSIONS Perioperative and postoperative antibiotics are widely used by pediatric urologists. However, there is significant practice variation in surgical antibiotic administration with regards to most areas of pediatric urology, in particular laparoscopic, endoscopic and hypospadias surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The repair of severe primary hypospadias represents a major surgical challenge. After initial enthusiasm for single-stage procedures, many paediatric urologists have turned to the alternative two-stage approach after experiencing disappointing results. A single surgeon's experience of the two-stage procedure is reported. METHODS Between 1998 and 2003, 62 boys underwent a two-stage reconstruction for primary hypospadias. Indications for staged repair included proximal meatus (mid-shaft [18 patients], peno-scrotal [23] or perineal [two]), moderate or severe chordee (38 patients), poor glans groove, and lichen sclerosis. Inner prepuce was the graft of choice. Median age was 27.6 months at completion of surgery and median follow-up was 26 months. RESULTS All grafts took well and none of the 62 patients needed revision. One patient developed a haematoma. Maturation of the graft for at least six months ensured the best conditions for the second-stage closure. Overall the cosmetic and functional results after the second stage were excellent. The outcomes were determined by the parents' and surgeon's assessment of function and the cosmetic appearance. Complications included partial glans dehiscense (three patients), residual mild curvature (three) and meatal stenosis (three). CONCLUSION The two-stage repair has proved to be a reliable and reproducible technique with a low complication rate in a difficult cohort of hypospadias patients. Inner preputial skin grafts take very successfully on the ventral surface of the penis, and splitting the glans enables a slit-like meatus to be achieved. Excellent cosmetic results can be anticipated.

Abstract
From August 1981 to June 2004, we retrospectively reviewed 66 hypospadias, treated with 123 operations, to analyze the outcome of reoperation based on preoperative antimicrobial prophylaxis. All patients received primary treatment in our hospital, and all had postoperative antimicrobial prophylaxis in all surgical procedures. We define a hypopadias repair as "corrected without fistula" if no urethrocutaneous fistula formation, or complete wound disruption is found within at least a 2-week follow-up period. Of the 123 operations, there were 66 primary repairs and 57 reoperations. The mean age at primary repair was 4.33 years. The overall rate of correction without fistula was 53.0% (35/66), with a mean of 14 months, follow-up. A total of 88 failure repairs resulted from 67 (76.0%) fistulas and 21 (24.0%) disruptions. A higher rate of correction without fistula (81.0%) was related to subcoronal hypospadias (p = 0.020) in three types. The rate of correction without fistula of two-staged repair was lowest in primary operations (12.5%), but these cases had a significantly higher rate of correction without fistula in following reoperations (66.7%, p = 0.043). Of the 123 repairs, only 46 (37%) had preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis, and these had lower early complication rates, both in primary and reoperation groups (42.3% vs 52.5% and 40.0% vs 54.1%, respectively). The differences, however, were not statistically significant (p = 0.231 and p = 0.289, respectively). In terms of rate of correction without fistula, a higher rate of correction without fistula was observed in reoperations with preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis (57.1%), compared to those without prophylaxis (23.1%). This difference was statistically significant (p = 0.031). The data from this study suggest that a lower early complication rate and a significantly higher rate of correction without fistula are related to the hypospadias reoperations with preoperative antimicrobial prophylaxis. The use of broad-spectrum antibiotics before surgery is recommended for these cases. However, more precise and prospective studies are warranted.
