Study Summary

Hypospadias is a common condition where the opening of the penis is not located at the tip, but along the underside of the penis. It is estimated to occur in 1/300 live male births, making it one of the most common birth defects. Degrees of hypospadias ranged from minor to severe depending on the location of the opening. Surgical repair is often required and involves placement of a catheter for the urine to drain with known urinary colonization found on prior retrospective studies. The current practice of using preventative antibiotics as long as the catheter is in place is conflicting with resent studies that show antibiotics may not be necessary to prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). The purpose of this study was to see how common symptomatic UTIs were after hypospadias repair surgery; and to see whether routine antibiotic use after surgery affected the rate of UTIs. Subjects were randomized to either receive antibiotics or no antibiotics after distal hypospadias repair. The research coordinator made follow-up phone calls with the family and the primary care provider (PCP) after stent removal, 30 days post surgery and after the 3 month post surgical visit.

Primary Outcome

Assess the prevalence of symptomatic UTI in subjects receiving standard of care dispensation of prophylaxis versus subjects selected to an antibiotic-sparing cohort.
