Three-week or one-week bladder catheterization for hypospadias repair? A retrospective-prospective observational study of 189 patients

摘要

Purpose: While there is little scientific evidence over the optimal duration for transurethral bladder catheterization after hypospadias repair, most surgeons leave the catheter for 7-10 days. We herein describe our experience with bladder catheterization for three weeks after hypospadias repair, an approach not previously described in the literature.
