Anyone experience Glans Dehiscence after surgery?
My son was born with severe chordee and proximal hypospadias. His case was so severe that it was pretty much no question that he’d have to have surgery if he wanted to have it be as functional as possible.
He’s already had three surgeries. One at 6 months, one year and 18 months. The first was to straighten his penis, the second was to place a graft and the third was to go finally create the tube to go to as close to the tip of his penis as possible.
Each surgery has been a tough ordeal but he’s healed great each time until the third surgery. The doctor told us at our latest check up that it looks like he has glans dehiscence and a fistula and will need another surgery to address these complications. I knew these were possibilities, but I figured since the other surgeries went well this one would too.
I am devastated for our son. He is terrified of doctors/hospitals now and is very uncomfortable when we have to touch his penis in any way. I am scared that we have physically/mentally scarred him for life in our attempt to help him.
Does anyone have experience with this kind of revision surgery? I’m really hoping this fourth surgery will be his last and he can physically and mentally heal from all of this.
