Abstract
BACKGROUND
Children with hypospadias, being born with congenital abnormalities, having repeated genital examination, hospitalization, and undewent genital surgery, experienced psychological stress that may negatively affect their psychosocial life. Choosing the proper time of surgery as recommended is important, since it may have a positive impact on the psychosocial adaptation.
AIM
This study aims to find the risk factors causing psychosocial disorders in post-repair surgery on hypospadias children.
METHODS
This is a case control study, from 203 hypospadias patients underwent urethroplasty from 2009 to 2018. Subjets were screened for psychosocial disorders by Pediatric Symptoms Questionnaire 17 (PSC-17) questionnaire to find those with psychosocial disorders, score 15 or more (case group) and those without psychosocial disorders (control group), score 0-14. We traced back the data retrospectively from both group (history of utrethrocutaneous fistula and meatal stenosis, age upon urethroplasty) and collecting new ones (cosmetic outcome, emotional stress after genital examination, and the existence of PTSD). Fisher's exact test was performed to see the Odds ratio (OR) for each variable.
RESULTS
Some children with hypospadias show impaired on psychocosial. Functional and cosmetic outcome not significantly different as potensial risk factor psychosocial disorders, genital examination doesn't trigger psychological stress and also none children show PTSD symtomp after surgery. Comparison time of age urethroplasty did not differ significantly between two group.
CONCLUSIONS
Twenty-nine children post urthroplasty show psychosocial disorders. Functional and cosmetic urethroplasty outcomes, emotional stress after genital examination, post-traumatic stress disorder were not risk factors of pshycosocial disorder of hypospadias patients. Ages at time of surgery did not differ significantly between two group and this is contradict to the previous recommendations.
