Question

My child was born with hypospadias and has undergone surgery for healing. How long after the surgery can the child be discharged, and what should be paid attention to in the postoperative period to ensure the wound recovers quickly?

Answer

The specific discharge time for children after hypospadias surgery depends on the recovery situation. Generally speaking, they can be discharged within a week, but proper postoperative care is crucial. Attention should be given to maintaining good hygiene to prevent infection and harm to the wound, adjusting the diet to choose light and easily digestible foods, which will aid in the rapid recovery of the wound.
