The Distribution of Preputial Vessels in Different Severity of Rat Congenital Hypospadias Model: Imaging Study Using Micro-Computerized Tomography

The study investigated the distribution of preputial vessels in rat models of congenital hypospadias using micro-computerized tomography. It found that the severity of hypospadias correlated with distinct vascular patterns, with severe cases showing a net-like structure and poor blood circulation, leading to higher postoperative complications. The research suggested that patients with severe hypospadias and poor vascular structures should undergo two-stage surgery to reduce complications, while those with sufficient blood supply could achieve satisfactory results with single-stage surgery. This study provided valuable insights into the anatomical variations associated with different degrees of hypospadias, which could inform surgical approaches and improve outcomes.
