Hypospadias Jillian E Peterson
Definition • Congenital anomaly of male urethra that results in abnormal ventral opening of urethra • Hypo= below Spadon= opening
Classification • First degree (mild) • Urethral opening within the glans or subcorona • Second degree (moderate) • Urethral opening on penile shaft • Third degree (severe) • Urethral opening within the scrotum or perineum
Embryology • Male and female external genitalia develop from a common origin and are indistinguishable up to 7-8wks gestation • At apprx 9th week of gestation differentiation begins
Embryology • In males, androgens stimulate growth of genital tubercule into phallic structure • Penile urethra formed from fusion of urethral folds • Hypospadias= failure of urethral folds to close
Embryology • Penile curvature is normal in development • Resolves at end of urethral formation • Hypospadias associated w/ abnormal penile curvature • Referred to as chordee • Due to disruption in development of penile shaft
Etiology • Cause largely unknown • Hypothesis include disruption of androgens • Associated factors genetic & environmental • Advanced maternal age • Maternal DM • Pre-term birth • History of paternal hypospadias • Exposure to smoking/pesticides
Epidemiology • Incidence • 0.3 to 0.7 % in live male birth • More common in Caucasians
Evaluation • Family history • Genital exam • Glans • Urethral opening • Penile length • Term newborn male 2.5-3.5cm • Degree of penile curvature • Testicular descent
Evaluation • Isolated hypospadias • Most common • No need for renal US because: • External genitalia forms after critical renal development • Arises from different embryological structures • Hypospadias + other organ system abnormalities • Renal US • Hypospadias + Cryptorchidism • Apprx 10% of patients w/ hypospadias • Increased risk of sexual developmental disorders • Can consider pelvic US, karyotyping, serum electrolytes
Management • NO circumcision as foreskin can possibly be used in future surgical correction • Mild hypospadias • If without significant penile curvature can observe • Only issue is slight misdirection of urinary stream • Moderate/severe hypospadias • Surgical correction
Surgery • Timing • 6 – 18 months • Goal • Urethral opening as close to ventral tip of penis as possible • Straightening of any chordee • Surgical technique • Primary tubularization • Onlay island flap • Two-stage repair
Complications • Urethral fistula • Most common complication • Urocutaneous fistula • Two urinary streams • Requires surgical correction • Urethral stricture • Thin stream w/ straining on urination • Urethral diverticulum • Outpouching of reconstructed urethra w/ dribbling of retained urine after void
Long term implications • Difficulty w/ urinary stream • Erectile Dysfunction • Infertility
