Risk Factors for Urethrocutaneous Fistula Repair After Hypospadias Surgery: A Retrospective Study

Conclusions: Our study suggested that UCF repairs after hypospadias surgery were easier to fail if one of the UCFs was larger than 2 mm or it had been repaired repeatedly. But when both factors existed, the increase of the risk was not statistically significant. The age of patients, site and number of UCFs, complications other than UCF, and postoperative infection were not significantly related to the success rate of UCF repair.
