RISULTATI FUNZIONALI ED ESTETICI E LORO IMPATTO PSICOLOGICO IN PAZIENTI ADULTI SOTTOPOSTI AD URETROPLASTICA PER LA CORREZIONE DELL'IPOSPADIA IN ETÀ PEDIATRICA. DATI PRELIMINARE.

Abstract

Introduzione: L'ipospadia è una malformazione congenita del pene. La chirurgia è necessaria per tre ragioni: funzionale, sessuale ed estetica. L'obiettivo principale è stato determinare il tasso di complicanze complessivo, mentre il secondario è stato valutare i risultati funzionali e cosmetici a lungo termine e l'impatto psicologico dell'uretroplastica per la correzione dell'ipospadia nei pazienti adulti. Materiali e Metodi: La nostra popolazione di studio ha incluso casi consecutivi di due Istituti Italiani di Urologia Pediatrica ad alto volume ed esperienza (Milano e Padova) tra il 1 gennaio 1984 e il 1 gennaio 2002. Criteri di inclusione: uomini adulti (di età superiore ai 18 anni) sottoposti a uretroplastica per riparazione dell'ipospadia prima dei 18 anni. Risultati: Sono stati identificati 942 pazienti, 359 pazienti hanno soddisfatto i criteri di inclusione. 77 pazienti (21%) hanno completato i test psicologici e sessuologici, 94 (26%) i questionari sulla percezione peniena e solo 52 (15%) la valutazione urologica. Dopo un follow-up mediano di 21 anni (18-35), è stato riscontrato un tasso di complicanze generale del 30%: 12 pazienti (9%) hanno presentato una deiscenza ventrale, 8 (6%) una stenosi del meato/neo-uretrale, 10 (8%) una fistola uretrocutanea, 3 (2%) una curvatura ventrale ricorrente e 6 (5%) difetti cutanei. La forma della curva uroflussimetrica era a campana in 17 (33%) e Plateau 35 (67%). Analizzando i questionari, 1/3 dei pazienti ha definito il proprio stato di salute ottimo con un buon stato di salute mentale generale con una minima depressione e lieve grado di ansia. La prevalenza della disfunzione erettile era (15%) con grado lieve in 3 pazienti (12%) e bassa ansia per all’approccio sessuale. Conclusione: Il tasso complessivo di complicanze sembra essere leggermente superiore a quello riportato in letteratura. I dati preliminari mostrano una bassa ansia all’approccio della sfera sessuale e più della metà dei soggetti è soddisfatto della qualità della propria vita sessuale. Il nostro studio ha evidenziato un buon tasso di soddisfazione per il risultato estetico in più della metà dei pazienti, coerente con i dati riportati in letteratura. Possiamo concludere inoltre che l'uroflussometria rimane uno strumento utile, insieme alla clinica, nello screening delle complicanze in un follow-up a lungo termine dopo intervento chirurgico per ipospadia.

Introduction: Hypospadias is a penile congenital malformation. Surgery is needed for three reasons: Functional, Sexual and Esthetical. The primary aim was to determine the overall complication rate whereas the secondary was the long term functional, cosmetic results and the psychological impact of urethroplasty for hypospadias repair in the adult patients. Material and Methods: Our study group included consecutive cases from two Italian high volume and experienced Paediatric Urology Institutions (Milan and Padua) between January 1st 1984 to January 1st 2002. Inclusion criteria: Adult men (older than 18 years) who underwent a urethroplasty for hypospadias repair before 18 years old. Results: 942 patients were identified, 359 patients met the inclusion criteria. 77 patients (21%) completed the psychological and sexuological tests, 94 (26%) questionnaires about penile perception and only 52 (15%) the urological evaluation. After a median follow-up of 21 years (18-35), we found an overall complication rate of 30%: 12 patient (9%) reported ventral dehiscence, 8 patients (6%) presented meatal/neourethral stenosis, 10 patients (8%) developed a urethrocutaneous fistula, 3 (2%) a recurrent ventral curvature and 6 (5%) skin defects. Uroflowmetry curve shape was bell in 17 (33%) and Plateau 35 (67%). Analysing the questionnaires 1/3 of patients defined their health excellent with a good overall state of mental health with a minimal depression and mild grade of anxiety. The prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) was (15%) with mild grade in 3 patients (12%) and low anxiety to approach sexual. Conclusion: The overall complication rate seems to be slightly higher than those reported in literature. Preliminary data show a low anxiety to approach sexual aspects and more than half of the subjects are satisfied by the quality of their sexual life. Our study highlighted a good satisfaction rate for the cosmetic result, in more than half patients, consistent with the data reported in the literature. We also conclude that uroflowmetry remains a useful tool in screening and prevent complication in a long term follow-up after hypospadias surgery.
