title: [Three different strategies of urine drainage following hypospadias surgery: clinical nursing and observation].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study 3 different strategies of urine drainage following hypospadias urethroplasty, the clinical nursing in their application, and their effects.
  
  
  METHODS
  We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 595 cases of hypospadias treated by urethroplasty. After surgery, 133 of the patients underwent urine drainage by suprapubic cystostomy (group A), 202 by urethral stent- tube indwelling (group B), and 260 by early initiative micturition with the urethral stent-tube (group C). All the patients received routine postoperative nursing care required for hypospadias repair.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Operations were successfully completed in all the cases. Group C showed a remarkably shorter hospital stay and lower incidence rates of urinary fistula and urethral stricture than groups A and B (P<0.05), but there were no significant differences in the three indexes between A and B (P<0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  For urine drainage following hypospadias repair, early initiative micturition with the urethral stent-tube can significantly reduce postoperative complications, decrease difficulties and workload of nursing care, and shorten the hospital stay of the patient.
