Complications Following Primary Repair of Non-proximal Hypospadias in Children: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature on the complications and postoperative outcomes of children with non-proximal hypospadias. Methods: Electronic databases including PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library CENTRAL were searched systematically from January 1990 to June 2020 for the literature that reported the postoperative outcomes of patients with non-proximal hypospadias. Non-proximal hypospadias encompassed distal and mid-penile hypospadias. Results: We included 44 studies involving 10,666 subjects. Urethrocutaneous fistula (UCF) was the most common complication with an incidence of 4.0% (95% CI, 3.1-5.0%). Incidence of overall complications was 8.0% (95% CI, 6.3-9.8%). Meta-regression analysis revealed that length of urethral stent indwelling (coefficient 0.006; 95% CI, 0.000-0.011; p = 0.036) and penile dressing (coefficient 0.010; 95% CI, 0.000-0.021; p = 0.048) were two risk factors for UCF. Multivariate meta-regression analysis did not identify any independent risk factors for UCF. No differences were found between stent and stentless groups in non-proximal hypospadias regarding incidences of UCF (OR, 0.589; 95% CI, 0.267-1.297), meatal stenosis (OR, 0.880; 95% CI, 0.318-2.437), and overall complications (OR, 0.695; 95% CI, 0.403-1.199). No differences were found between foreskin preservation and circumcision in terms of complications either. Conclusions: UCF is the most common complication following hypospadias repair with an incidence of 4.0%. Independent risk factors for UCF were not identified in the current research. Distal hypospadias repair without stent indwelling is not likely to compromise the postoperative outcome. Further studies should be designed to explore the differences between different surgical approaches and the potential risk factors for complications following hypospadias repair.

Project description:BackgroundTo determine the risk factors for postoperative complications after primary hypospadias repair. Hypospadias has a high postoperative complication rate, and the risk factors of postoperative complications have attracted extensive attention.MethodsA total of 857 children who received primary surgical repair for hypospadias in our center between 3 January 2017 and 29 January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The collected data included age at time of surgery, type of hypospadias, body mass index (BMI), surgeon, operation time, length of reconstructed urethra, method of anesthesia (general anesthesia or general anesthesia combined with caudal anesthesia), and postoperative constipation. The risk factors for postoperative complications were analyzed by multivariate analysis.ResultsThe follow-up time in this study was 6-54 months, with a mean follow-up time of 29 months. A total of 96 (11.2%) of the 857 pediatric patients had postoperative complications, including 44 (45.8%) cases of urethral fistula, 14 (14.6%) cases of urethral stricture, 5 (5.2%) cases of urethral diverticula, 5 (5.2%) cases of distal dehiscence, 3 (3.1%) cases of poor exposure, 2 (2.1%) cases of residual curvature, 1 (1.0%) case of penoscrotal transposition, 6 (6.3%) cases of urethral stricture and diverticulum, 6 (6.3%) cases of urethral fistula and diverticulum, 3 (3.1%) cases of urethral fistula and postoperative residual curvature, 2 (2.1%) cases of urethral fistula and distal dehiscence, and 1 (1.0%) case each of urethral fistula and transposition, urethral diverticulum and poor exposure, urethral stricture and poor exposure, distal dehiscence and transposition, and residual curvature and transposition. After univariate analysis, type of hypospadias (P=0.038), operation time (P<0.001), length of reconstructed urethra (P=0.007), and postoperative constipation (P=0.019) were included in the multivariate logistic regression analysis. The results showed that postoperative constipation was an independent risk factor for complications [P=0.027, odds ratio (OR) =1.793, confidence interval (CI): 1.067 to 3.012].ConclusionsPostoperative constipation is an important influencing factor for postoperative complications following primary hypospadias repair. Therefore, defecation management should be strengthened for hypospadias patients during the perioperative period.

Project description:BackgroundA majority of proximal humeral fractures can be managed without surgery. Recent randomized clinical trials and meta-analyses even question the benefit of surgical treatment for displaced 3-, and 4-part fractures. However, evidence-based treatment recommendations, balancing benefits and harms, presuppose a common reporting of complications and adverse events, which at the moment is largely missing. Therefore we systematically reviewed the use of terms and definitions of complications after nonsurgical management of proximal humeral fractures.MethodsWe searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Scopus and WorldCat (2010-2017) and included articles and book chapters containing complication terms or definitions. Two reviewers independently extracted and grouped terms and definitions according to a predefined scheme. Terms and definitions concerning non-surgical management were tabulated, grouped and analyzed qualitatively.ResultsThe initial search identified 1376 references from which 470 articles were selected for full-text retrieval. Data-extraction included first articles published in 2017, was then performed iteratively in batches of 20 articles, and terminated after retrieval of 91 articles when no additional definitions or terms was found. In addition, 12 book chapters were reviewed from an initial list of 100. No general definition of a complication was found. A total of 69 terms for complications after non-surgical management were identified from 19 articles. Sixty-seven terms regarded local events. The most commonly reported event terms regarded osteonecrosis, malunion, secondary displacement and rotator cuff problems. Seven individual terms were accompanied by some kind of definition. Most terms and definitions were based on radiographical assessments.ConclusionsWe found no consensus in the use of terms and definitions of complications after nonsurgical management of proximal humeral fractures. Multiple terms, some synonymous, some partly synonymous, some distinct, were used. Few complication terms were explicitly defined. Development and validation of an internationally consensus-based core event set for complications after proximal humeral fractures managed non-surgically is needed.
