“…The same author also proposed cut glove fingers as a dressing especially for child hypospadias cases. [4] He admits that this material could not be used for scrotal and perineal hypospadias cases. Another problem was that this material did not have exudate absorbing capacity.…”

We did not encounter any of the complications with Allevyn Adhesive® that were seen with the use of traditional dressing products, such as, problems with removal of the dressing, development of maceration secondary to inadequate absorption of leakages from the wound, cohesions of the wound lips, and infections and necrosis of the flaps and grafts, secondary to erroneous locations of the dressings. There was no additional therapeutical cost due to the use of this product. For these reasons we thought that Allevyn Adhesive® is a good alternative for the dressing of hypospadias and circumcision.

“…3 Novel methods used and found suitable include polyurethrane bio occlusive foil, Cavi care, SANAV, glove-finger, Fibrin seal (Tisseal), Melolin and adhesive membrane dressings. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Silicon foam dressing was found effective in restricting edema, haematoma formation and stabilization with easy removal. 11 Peha-Haft is a cohesive elastic conforming bandage with extra strong adhesive effect due to its crepe texture and special latex coating.…”

Hypospadias Repair has varied alternatives in every step including dressing. Objective: To compare Peha-Haft cohesive dressing with compressed gauze penile wrap dressing in hypospadias repair. Patients and methods: Peha-Haft cohesive dressing was prospectively used in 60 subjects (Group A) over a period of three and a half years from Jan.2001 to July 2004 and compared with 60 subjects of compressed gauze dressing with micropore adhesive (Group B). Primary outcome measures were ease of application, cost, comfort with dressing, dressing related early complications, pain during dressing removal assessed by FLACC score and time taken during removal. Results: Time taken during dressing removal was 30 + 11 seconds in Group A and 180 + 26 seconds in Group B. FLACC score was 3 + 2 in Group A and 7 + 3 in Group B. No sedation was required in the Group A while it was required in 26 cases in Group B Conclusion: Peha-Haft dressing was superior in terms of the ease of application, cost, comfort with dressing, dressing related early complications, time consumed and pain during dressing removal.

“…Probably, one of the most controversial aspects of hypospadias surgery is the election of an appropriate wound dressing [1]. Multiple dressings have been previously described, using different types of materials such as silastic foam, elastic bands, glove finger, Tegaderm, Opsite, Cavicare and the more recent silicone-foam sheets (Mepilex and Allevyn) [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Nevertheless, there is no evidence in the current literature about the best method for postoperative dressing following hypospadias repair [1,15].…”

Evaluation of efficacy of oxygen-enriched oil-based gel dressing in patients who underwent surgical repair of distal hypospadias: a prospective randomised clinical trial

et al. 2020

Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of oxygen-enriched oil-based gel dressing on wound healing and postoperative outcome in children who underwent distal hypospadias repair. Methods We included all patients with distal hypospadias, who underwent Snodgrass urethroplasty and preputioplasty over an 18-months period. The patients were randomized in two groups according to the type of medication: oxygen-enriched oil-based gel (G1) and hyaluronic acid cream (G2). After discharge, parents changed the dressing twice a day for 2-3 weeks postoperatively. The patients were evaluated at 7, 14, 21, 30, 60 and 180 postoperative days and thereafter annually. Results One-hundred and fourteen patients (median age 18 months) were included in the study and randomized in two groups, each of 57 patients. The wound healing was significantly faster in G1 compared with G2 (p = 0.001). G1 reported significantly higher SWAS and modified HOPE scores compared with G2 (p = 0.001) at all steps of follow-up. No adverse skin reactions occurred. Foreskin dehiscence and re-operations rates were significantly lower in G1 compared with G2 (p = 0.001). Postoperative foreskin retractability was better in G1, with a significantly higher incidence of secondary phimosis in G2 (p = 0.001). The median treatment costs were significantly lower in G1 compared with G2 (p = 0.001). Conclusion Postoperative dressing using oxygen-enriched oil-based gel was highly effective, promoting a faster wound healing in patients who underwent distal hypospadias repair. It reported a lower incidence of foreskin dehiscence and better foreskin retractability compared with the control group. It was cost-effective and clinically safe without allergy or intolerance to the product.

Glove-finger dressing in paediatric hypospadias

Abstract: Dressing post-operative hypospadias using a glove finger is technically easy to apply, inspect, and remove; gives uniform compression; is cheap and easily available; prevents contamination; and does not slip like ordinary dressings.
