Purpose: To evaluate long-term results and complications we reviewed the records of 42 consecutive men 18 to 47 years old (mean age 22.5) who underwent hypospadias repair between 1979 and 1999.Materials and Methods: The study population was divided into groups 1 consisting of 8 patients without previous hypospadias surgery, 2 consisting of 12 who underwent 1 or more procedures in childhood but in whom local tissue was relatively intact and 3 consisting of 22 who underwent multiple unsuccessful hypospadias repairs with various degrees of penile deformity and loss of local tissue.Results: Complications were noted in 3 of 8 (37.5%), 5 of 12 (41.67%) and 14 of 22 (63.6%) patients in groups I to 3, including 3 (100%), 4 (80%) and 10 (71.4%), respectively, in whom secondary surgery was successful in the long term. A patient in group 2 and 2 in group 3 await further surgery, while 2 in group 3 were lost to followup. Overall primary complications developed in 22 of the 42 men (52.3%) and 5 of the 22 (22.7%) had secondary complications. There was long-term success in 37 of 42 cases (88.1%).Conclusions: The results of hypospadias repair in adulthood differ from the results of similar procedures in childhood. Although the various techniques are similar, there is clearly a difference in terms of wound healing, infection, complication rates and overall success. Adults undergoing hypospadias repair must be counseled on all of these variables to avoid unreasonable expectations.
