Effectiveness of Urethral Stent Irrigation in Preventing Surgical Site Infections in Adolescents with Hypospadias

During urethroplasty, a Fr3 ureteral catheter will be placed in the reconstructed urethra, with the proximal end extending approximately 2 cm beyond the urethral wound. The distal end will connect to an F6 single-lumen ureter and a urinary bag. On the second postoperative day, the urethra will be irrigated with 5 ml of saline twice daily. This irrigation routine will continue until the catheter is removed.

During urethroplasty, intraurethral retention of urethral catheters is used to drain urine from the bladder.
