2-octyl Cyanoacrylate for Closure of Urethrocutaneous Fistula.

Urethrocutaneous fistulae (UCF) represent one of the most frequent causes of morbidity after urethroplasty. Hypospadias can be repaired using different surgical techniques, but regardless of technique, the incidence of UCF ranges between 10% and 40%. The surgical repair of UCF remains the treatment of choice, even if some patients need further operations because of recurrences. The cyanoacrylates have been used as skin suture substitutes, and some evidence suggests a beneficial effect when these adhesives are used as an adjuvant in the management of UCF.
