Anatomical and intraoperative predictors of surgical complications after distal hypospadias repair with foreskin reconstruction: a prospective study

1

Hypospadias is a common congenital anomaly with an incidence of 1:200 to 1:300 live male births.
2

The study investigates anatomical and intraoperative factors predicting complications after distal hypospadias repair.
3

Foreskin reconstruction has an 8% risk of complications but does not increase urethroplasty complications or reoperation rates.
4

A prospective cohort study was conducted to evaluate preoperative and intraoperative characteristics influencing surgical outcomes.
5

Standardized anatomical measurements were taken intraoperatively to improve risk stratification and surgical techniques.
