Abstract:
Introduction: Hypospadias is a congenital malformation of
the urethral meatus in the ventral penis that requires
surgery. Fibre and fluid intake can accelerate the healing
process, act as an anti-inflammatory and support the
success of surgery. Based on hypospadias objective
scoring evaluation (HOSE) scoring, this study aims to
determine whether a high-fibre diet and adequate fluid
intake affect the outcome of hypospadias surgery.
Materials and Methods: This analytic observational study
used a case-control study design on 104 post-operative
hypospadias patients at Ulin and Siaga Hospital
Banjarmasin from 2018 to 2023 with quota sampling. Data
were collected using personal data forms with hypospadias
objective scoring evaluation (HOSE) and semi-quantitativefood
frequency questionnaire (SQ-FFQ), which were
analysed using a multinomial logistic regression test.
Results: Patients with less-fibre-intake had a 99.10% lower
chance of having an excellent surgical outcome than
patients with moderate-fibre-intake (Adjusted Odds Ratio,
Adj. OR: 0.009, 95% Confidence Intervals; 95%CI: 0.000,
0.249), and it was statistically significant. The study did not
find any association between fluid intake and surgical
outcome, this could be due to the fact that most of the
patient had good fluid intake.
Conclusion: The study found that high fibre intake increases
the success of hypospadia surgery.
