Sub-Coronal Hypospadias Repair In a 10-Year-Old Male: A Rare Case Report

Abstract

One of the most prevalent congenital genital abnormalities, hypospadias, usually requires surgery between the ages of six months and one year. However, delayed presentations are typical in settings with low resources because of things like poverty, limited access to healthcare, and illiteracy. Even if surgical methods for repairing hypospadias have changed throughout time, the process of reconstructing hypospadias is still difficult. This case study focuses on treating a 10-year-old boy who had sub-coronal hypospadias, a condition that is typically identified and treated in infancy but manifested late in this instance. This study's main goal is to show how well Tubularized Incised Plate (TIP) urethroplasty works to treat older children's hypospadias, with a focus on both functional and cosmetic results. The study also intends to address the difficulties posed by postponed diagnosis and the psychological effects of hypospadias, emphasizing the substantial improvement in physical function and quality of life that can be achieved with prompt surgical repair. According to the study's findings, TIP urethroplasty is a dependable surgical method that produces good functional and esthetic results when used to treat sub-coronal hypospadias, even in older children.
