Comparison Of Outcome Of Different Layers in Hypospadias Surgery

Comparison Of Outcome Of Autologus Platelet Rich Plasma Membrane Plus Dartos Flap Versus Simple Dartos Flap In Hypospadias Surgery

To compare the outcome of applying autologous platelet-rich plasma membrane layer and dartos fascial flap versus only dartos fascial flap in mid and distal penile hypospadias surgery. A total of 220 patients fulfilling the selection criteria were admitted after taking informed consent. Cases were randomly divided into groups A and B using a random generator of the Excel program. In group A, dartos flap and PRP sheet layer were applied and in group B, only a preputial dartos fascial flap was applied

Objective To compare the outcome of application of autologous platelet-rich plasma membrane layer and dartos fascial flap versus only dartos fascial flap in mid and distal penile hypospadias surgery.

Methods This randomized controlled trial was conducted at Pediatric General surgical department, the Children's hospital and the University of Child health, Lahore for the period of 12 months. Non probability, purposive sampling was used for data collection and randomization was done to assign the treatment. Total of 220 patients fulfilling the selection criteria were admitted after taking an informed consent. Cases were randomly divided into two groups A and B using random generator of Excel program. In group-A, dartos flap and PRP sheet layer was applied and in group-B, only a preputial dartos fascial flap was applied.

Inclusion Criteria:

• patients (Age 6months to12 years) with mid, distal penile or sub coronal hypospadias having minimal chordae were included in the study

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients having proximal hypospadias, moderate to severe chordae, previously operated cases, a preoperative androgens treatment (for example in penoscrotal hypospadias and small sized phallus) were excluded from study
