Abstract

Objective: To assess the outcomes of the Limited Urethral Mobilization (LUM) technique in distal hypospadias repair. Material and Methods: Forty-seven patients, who were operated on with the LUM technique iduring a 6 years period, were grouped according to their ages. Age distribution in Group 1 (n=37) and Group 2 (n=10) were 6-36 and 37-72 months. Meatal localization was glanular in 31, coronal in 7 and sub-coronal in 9 patients. Nine patients were secondary cases. The urethra proximal to the meatus was mobilized for a distance sufficient to allow it to reach the glans tip without tension. Then, the urethra was placed in the glanular bed and glanular reconstruction was performed. Operation duration, distance between the urethral meatus and the glans tip; and urethral mobilization length were measured and post-operative complications were noted. Results: Operation durations were similar in both groups. Three-fold urethral mobilization was sufficient for construction of tension-free urethra-glanular anastomosis. No fistula or retraction of the urethral meatus and chordee were observed. One patient required meatotomy. Conclusion: Distal hypospadias repair with the LUM technique is simple and effective. As no new urethral tube is constructed there is no risk of fistula. A slit-like urethral meatus with good functional results was obtained with the use of theLUM technique. Turkish Başlık: Distal Hipospadias Onarımında 'Sınırlı Üretral Mobilizasyon Tekniği' ile Tatminkar Sonuçlar Anahtar Kelimeler: Hipospadias, sınırlı üretral mobilizasyon Amaç: Distal hipospadias onarımında Sınırlı Üretral Mobilizasyon (SÜM) tekniğinin kullanımının değerlendirilmesi. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Altı yıllık dönemde SÜM tekniği ile onarımı yapılan 47 distal hipospadias olgusu yaş dağılımlarına göre 2 gruba ayrıldı. Grup 1 (n=37) 6–36 ay ve Grup 2 (n=10) 37–72 ay aralığındaki hastaları kapsıyordu. Meatus lokalizasyonu 31 hastada glanüler, 7 hastada koronal ve 9 hastada sub-koronal idi. Altı hastada kordi ve iki hastada ventral cilt kısalığına bağlı glans eğriliği mevcuttu. Dokuz hasta daha önce hipospadias operasyonu geçirmişti. Operasyonda, meatusun proksimalindeki üretra glans tepesine rahatça gelebilecek seviyeye kadar serbestleştirilerek glans içinde hazırlanan yatağa yerleştirildi. Üretra glans kanatlarına sabitlendikten sonra glans onarımı yapılarak operasyon sonlandırıldı. Operasyon süresi, üretral meatus ile glans tepesi arasındaki uzaklık ve üretral mobilizasyon uzunluğu ölçüldü. Operasyon sonrası komplikasyonlar kaydedildi. Bulgular: Grupların operasyon süreleri benzerdi. Her 2 grupta da gerilimsiz bir anastomoz yapılabilmesi için üretral mobilizasyon uzunluğunun, meatus ile glans tepesi arasındaki uzaklığın 3 katı olması gerektiği saptandı. Bir hastada meatotomi gerektiren meatus darlığı gelişti. Fistül ve meatus retraksiyonu saptanmadı. Sonuç: SÜM tekniği distal hipospadias olgularında yüz güldürücü bir yöntemdir. Yeni bir üretral tüp oluşturulmadığı için fistül riski yoktur. SÜM tekniği ile hastalarımızda glans tepesinde yerleşimli normal idrar akımına izin veren ‘yarık şeklinde meatus' oluşturulabilmiştir.
