Determinants of fistula formation, some of them not previously evaluated, were studied in 30 consecutive children admitted for hypospadias repair to our centre. All children were screened for any urinary or local infections. Vicryl and catgut were used alternately for reconstruction of the neo-urethra. Per urethral drainage was employed in all patients. The presence of unfavourable local anatomical factors, the surgeon's satisfaction at the end of the procedure and duration of surgery were noted. The patients were followed up for any urethrocutaneous fistula. Unsatisfactory surgery (chi-square = 6.53, p = 0.01), unfavourable anatomical factors (chi-square = 10.80, p = 0.001) and local infection (chi-square = 5.66, p = 0.017) had a strong association with fistula formation, whereas urine leakage and a history of previous surgery had only a marginal association. On application of stepwise binary logistic regression, unfavourable local anatomical factors (OR [95% CI]: 13.19 [1.20-143.50]) and urine leakage (OR [95% CI]: 14.35 [1.20-171.45]) emerge as strong risk factors for urethrocutaneous fistula, and local infection (OR [95% CI]: 8.70 (0.93-81.01]) as a moderate risk factor.
