    Hypospadias is a common congenital anomaly, affecting 1 in 200 to 300 male births, with urethrocutaneous fistulas being a frequent complication post-surgery.

  • 2

    Urethrocutaneous fistulas occur in approximately 7.5% of hypospadias cases, with incidence rates varying based on surgical technique and surgeon expertise.

  • 3

    Non-operative management strategies for early-stage urethrocutaneous fistulas include cyanoacrylate adhesives and early urethral recatheterization to promote healing.

  • 4

    This systematic review evaluates non-surgical approaches for managing small, early-onset urethrocutaneous fistulas after hypospadias repair.

  • 5

    Limited high-quality evidence exists for conservative treatments of urethrocutaneous fistulas, highlighting the need for further research in this area.
