| Popis: | We describe the successful use of an osmotic self-inflating tissue expander for complex pediatric hypospadias repair. A 5-year-old boy, who had undergone previous hypospadias repair and subsequent fistula repair, presented with significant rotation of the penile shaft, with extensive scar tissue but insufficient native penile shaft skin for redo surgery. A 15 × 6 mm Osmed self-inflating cylindrical expander was used to allow excision of scar tissue and cover with expanded native skin. An excellent cosmetic and functional outcome was achieved at clinic review, 18 months postoperatively. The use of self-inflating tissue expanders offers a novel technique to achieve adequate native skin in the management of complex pediatric hypospadias. |
