Anatomical and intraoperative predictors of surgical complications after distal hypospadias repair with foreskin reconstruction: a prospective study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate anatomical and intraoperative risk factors predicting complications following distal hypospadias repair with foreskin reconstruction in pediatric patients.
methodsA prospective analysis was conducted on all patients with distal hypospadias undergoing tubularized incised plate urethroplasty (TIPU) with foreskin reconstruction over a 2-year period. Intraoperative measurements-stretched penile length, glans width, glans groove width, meatal position, ischemic time and preputial symmetry-were recorded. Postoperative complications and reoperations were analyzed through multivariate logistic regression to determine independent predictors.
resultsThe patient cohort included 71 operated boys. Median patient age was 2.4 years (range 1-9.1), and median follow-up was 12.8 months. The most frequent complications were foreskin dehiscence (12.7%), non-retractile foreskin (12.7%), meatal/urethral stenosis (11.3%), and urethrocutaneous fistula (7.0%). Prolonged ischemic time (> 60 min) independently predicted foreskin dehiscence (p = 0.03) and reoperation (p = 0.003). Shorter PL (≤ 3 cm) was associated with higher stenosis rates, while more proximal distal meatal position (subcoronal/midpenile) increased the risk of foreskin dehiscence (p = 0.0006), fistula (p = 0.007), and reoperation (p = 0.02). Age > 2 years significantly predicted meatal/urethral stenosis (p = 0.01) and reoperation (p = 0.001). Preputial asymmetry correlated with foreskin dehiscence (p = 0.006), whereas glans width and groove width showed no significant associations (p > 0.05).
conclusionProlonged ischemic time, shorter penile length, more proximal distal meatal position, asymmetric prepuce and older age at surgery are independent predictors of postoperative complications and reoperations after distal hypospadias repair with foreskin reconstruction. Careful preoperative assessment, minimizing intraoperative ischemic duration, and considering earlier surgery before 2 years of age may improve both functional and cosmetic outcomes.
