Hypospadias Repair

Hypospadias is a congenital condition in males where the opening of the urethra is located on the underside of the penis, rather than at the tip. It is a condition that affects the development of the penis during fetal development.

The diagnosis of hypospadias is typically made during a physical examination shortly after birth. Additional diagnostic tests may include:

- Ultrasound: An ultrasound may be performed to evaluate the urinary tract, identify any associated abnormalities, and assess the location and severity of hypospadias.

- Uroflowmetry: In some cases, uroflowmetry, a test to measure the flow and volume of urine, may be conducted to evaluate the function of the urinary system.

Hypospadias Repair Surgery Rs.88800 to Rs.118400

Hypospadias repair is typically performed by a pediatric urologist, who specializes in diagnosing and treating urological conditions in children. These surgeons have the expertise and experience in performing the surgical procedures required to correct hypospadias.

Hypospadias repair surgery may involve the use of various technologies and surgical techniques, including:

Magnification devices: Surgeons may use magnifying glasses or surgical microscopes to enhance visualization and precision during the surgical procedure.

Surgical instruments: Specialized instruments designed for pediatric urological procedures, such as fine-tipped scissors, forceps, and suturing devices, may be used.

Suturing techniques: Various suturing techniques, such as tissue approximation and tissue layer closure, may be employed to reconstruct the urethra and surrounding tissues.

Surgical adhesives: In some cases, surgical adhesives may be used to support tissue healing and reduce the need for extensive suturing.

Endoscopic equipment: For more complex cases, endoscopic equipment, such as urethroscopes or cystoscopes, may be utilized to assist in the evaluation and repair of the urinary tract.
