Stent-related complications following hypospadias repair: A prospective trial comparing silastic tubing and Koyle urethral stents

Journal of Pediatric Urology Aug 30, 2018

Lee LC, et al. - In this prospective trial, researchers compared silastic tubing vs Koyle stents (Cook Medical), addressing outcomes related to stent-related complications, added visits to healthcare providers in the early postoperative period, and postoperative complications at clinic follow-up. Between the silastic and Koyle stent groups, there were no significant differences in stent-related complications or fistula rate. The data presented in this work showed a two-fold higher rate of Emergency Department (ED) visits in the silastic compared to Koyle stent group. Findings revealed that half of ED visits in the silastic group were associated with stents falling out before planned removal. The authors propose that many of these visits may have been preventable with improved parental education.
