Chapter 7.  Disorders of Male External Genitalia

73

Early surgical reconstruction in this group has many advocates because this will help the bladder capacity expand which may ultimately benefit urinary continence and increase the chances for normal bladder control.

Fertility is another issue that affects the penopubic epispadias patients. As a result of the bladder neck not being able to close completely, retrograde ejaculation is very common. Additionally, a congenitally short broad penis with dorsal penile curvature may increase difficulty in having sexual intercourse.

7.2.3  Surgery, Common complications, and Postoperative Issues

Today epispadias is repaired as a single stage procedure that attempts to repair the penis in an anatomically correct fashion.However,as with hypospadias certain ­complications are common such as a urethrocutaneous fistula that usually presents with a separate urethral opening either ventrally or dorsally depending on the reconstructive technique employed. This may or may not close spontaneously and if not, will require surgical correction. Persistent dorsal penile curvature (Fig. 7.9) has been a very common complication post epispadias repair. However, using the newer Mitchell disassembly technique, it is less common than before.8
