Intraoperative Information
What happens during hypospadias repair?
The child’s pediatric anesthesiologist will sedate the child (put them under) with general anesthesia. They make sure that child won’t be awake, won’t move and won’t feel any pain during the procedure.
What are the stages of hypospadias repair?
A hypospadias repair may be a one- or two-stage procedure based on severity.If your child has mild hypospadias, they usually require only a one-stage hypospadias repair. A one-stage hypospadias repair is only one surgery.If your child has penoscrotal hypospadias, they require a two-stage hypospadias repair. A two-stage procedure is two surgeries that are usually spaced six months apart. During this procedure, sometimes we may use skin from child’s mouth to help create their new urethra.
How long does a hypospadias repair take?
A hypospadias repair may take up to two to three hours. However sometimes it takes more time and we never hurry in these reconstructive surgeries. It is recommended that you take rest and eat during this period , as after surgery, you will be called in post op area to accompany your child after surgery.
