Megameatus intact prepuce: a systematic review of surgical techniques and long-term outcomes
Topic overview
This systematic review analyzes surgical management of megameatus intact prepuce (MIP), a rare hypospadias variant with diverse phenotypes. Reviewing 18 studies encompassing 524 patients, the analysis examines surgical techniques including preputial reconstruction, urethroplasty, and meatal advancement with success rates of 77-100%, while highlighting gaps in long-term functional and cosmetic outcome data.
Key takeaways
- MIP is a rare hypospadias variant with diverse phenotypes requiring individualized surgical planning and urological evaluation.
- Surgical success rates range from 77-100% across preputial reconstruction, urethroplasty, and meatal advancement techniques.
- Long-term functional and cosmetic outcome data remain limited, highlighting need for extended follow-up studies.
- Current literature encompasses 524 patients but lacks standardized reporting of outcomes across surgical approaches.
- Genetic and environmental factors underlying MIP phenotypic variability require further investigation.
