Retrospective evaluation of anesthesia and surgery methods in proximal hypospadias cases

Aim: The appropriate anesthetic technique to be used in cases of proximal hypospadias in children is a subject of debate. Local orregional anesthesia as well as intubation can be used. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate retrospectively the different anesthesiaand surgery techniques used and their perioperative outcomes in the cases of proximal hypospadias consulting our hospital.Materials and Methods: The hospital files of 30 cases operated on for proximal hypospadias were scanned retrospectively to evaluatethe different methods of anesthesia and repair surgery implemented. The patients operated under general anesthesia were groupedon the basis of the airway equipment used for anesthesia as Laryngeal mask airway (Group 1) and endotracheal intubation (Group2). Routine penile block implementation, effectiveness of anesthesia, side effects, hemodynamic changes and complications in allpatients were recorded.Results: A total of 56 sessions of operations on 28 patients were carried out. In 26 of the session’s laryngeal mask and in 30 sessionsendotracheal intubation were used. When the data of Group 1 and Group 2 were compared, the groups did not differ significantly withrespect to age, anesthesia methods and duration, hypospadias repair methods, duration and sessions, intraoperative parameters,hospital stay and complications (all p>0.05). The two groups differed on the ASA physical status classification values with Group 2values being significantly higher (p
