Instructor: Plastic Surgery Education

About the course

In this unique and insightful session, we delve deep into the nuances of hypospadias  from evaluation and surgical planning to managing complications.

Whether you're an exam-going postgraduate or a practicing clinician looking to explore or refine your hypospadias practice, this session brings you high-yield pearls straight from the masters desk.

What is discussed:

üHow should chordee and glans configuration be evaluated and documented in a patient with hypospadias?

üWhat are the key clinical features to assess during preoperative examination, and what is the ideal age for surgical correction?

üIn cases where both undescended testes and hypospadias are present, which condition should be addressed first and why?

üWhat is the preferred choice of catheter and suture material in hypospadias repair, and what factors guide these decisions?

üSingle stage vs two stage. When and why? How do the Asopa, Duckett, Bracka, and Byars techniques compare, and what are their practical applications in primary and redo surgeries?

üWhat are the advantages and limitations of using preputial grafts versus buccal mucosal grafts in hypospadias reconstruction?

üWhat constitutes a “hypospadias cripple,” and when should techniques like Cecil-Culp be considered?

üWhat intraoperative techniques help minimize complications such as fistulas, strictures, and diverticula, and how are these managed if they occur?

üWhat is your postoperative management protocol, including pain control, diet, handling pericatheter leaks, and accidental catheter dislodgement?
