Abstract
Purpose of review: This review article will examine the current literature on hypospadias-related complications in adult patients.
Recent findings: In this article, we will review the most recent studies evaluating hypospadias-related stricture disease, erectile function, fertility, and psychosexual outcomes in adult men with history of hypospadias repair in childhood. Managing hypospadias-related complications in adult patients is challenging to reconstructive urologists due to the compounded complexity of innate tissue deficiency and history of prior surgical repairs. In this review, we explore overall functional outcomes of adults with history of hypospadias repair as well as repair strategies of hypospadias-related urethral stricture disease. We will review erectile function, fertility and psychosexual outcomes as well as potential complications, which often do not surface until late adolescence and adulthood. Although it is challenging to characterize and quantify hypospadias-related complications, further longitudinal study is needed to better care for this complex patient population.
期刊介绍:
This journal intends to review the most important, recently published findings in the field of urology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal elucidates current and emerging approaches to the care and prevention of urologic diseases and conditions.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, erectile dysfunction, female urology, and kidney disease. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
