Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: Hypospadias is a birth abnormality of the urethra where the urinary opening is not at the usual location on the head of the penis. Treatment of hypospadias is urethroplasty. Objective: Study the effect of foley catheter for tubularizing neourethra in urethroplasty for hypospadias in children. Usually infant feeding tube is used. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study of 2 years duration. Total there were 22 children. Only snodgrass urethroplasty and Dennis Brown urethroplasty were studied. Foley catheter of No:8 used in 14 cases and No:10 Foley’s is used in 8 case. We had 1 year follow up. Result: Of 14 cases in which No:8 foley catheter used, 11 cases had uneventful post operative period. 3 cases with No: 8 Foley used, there was catheter block on 3-5th day and we had to do Suprapubic catheterisation. Of 10 cases in which foley catheter used, all cases had uneventful post operative period. Both cases catheter kept for 2- 3 weeks. None developed urethral fistula or stricture. Conclusion: Our study shows foley catheter is a good alternative for infant feeding tube, in case of urethroplasty for hypospadias in children. If we use foley catheter No: 8, there is some risk of catheter block. If we can use Foley catheter No:10, result is excellent, without any catheter block. But in both cases, there is no cases of catheter slipping out .Catheter stayed for 3 weeks. All cases had good results.
