Background: Hypospadias repair is a common pediatric operation. Several kinds of dressings are currently available, with their benefits and side effects.
Aim: The aim of our study was to introduce a new method of dressing, by pouring several layers of cyanoacrylate (CA) glue as the dressing, in hypospadias surgery.
Materials And Methods: Twenty out of the 61 patients with hypospadias, with a mean age of 13.5 months, were enrolled in this study. Forty-one had conventional dressing (pressure wrap dressing), while CA glue was used in 20 patients. CA glue was applied around the penis and its base four times and each time it took one minute to dry. All patients were followed postoperatively for two weeks and six to twelve months, for early and late complications, respectively.
Results: One out of 20 developed wound hematoma, one had skin necrosis with infection, and edema was present in all. All these were easily diagnosed and managed rapidly. In the group treated with conventional methods, there were five infections, seven hematomas, all the patients in the group had edema and painful removal of the dressing, and 10 needed repeat dressing.
Conclusions: CA glue is impermeable to urine and stool, and prevents edema and hematoma. Used in several layers, it is a good alternative dressing in hypospadias surgery.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of different dressing methods in wound healing and the postoperative outcome in children who underwent hypospadias repair.
Methods: Altogether 109 children with distal hypospadias who underwent urethroplasty were recruited from our hospital between January 2021 and March 2023. All patients were randomized in two groups according to the different dressing methods: Group A receiving 3 M antimicrobial incise drape + MEBO (moisture-exposed burn ointment) and Group B receiving absorbent dressing + elastic bandage dressing.

Double versus single diaper technique after hypospadias repair, does it really matter?

Department of Urology, West Virginia University Hospital, Morgantown, WV, USA.
Introduction: Double-diaper technique with an open-drainage catheter is a common practice after hypospadias repair. However, double-diapering may increase the burden of postoperative care and has not been compared to single-diapering with an open-drainage catheter.
Objectives: This study investigates whether the single-diaper technique is associated with inferior surgical outcomes compared to the double-diaper technique.
