Sometimes this opening is too small (meatal stenosis), making it difficult to pass urine (pee). This may change the appearance or pressure of the urine stream during urination. A meatoplasty (also called meatotomy) is a surgical procedure to make the opening at the tip of the penis larger to allow urine to pass freely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Who may need meatoplasty?<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Meatal stenosis occurs in around 10% of males. It\u2019s a common, easily treated condition that affects circumcised male infants. This is also performed on patients who have a mild form of hypospadias (a birth defect where the opening isn\u2019t at the tip of the penis).<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">What happens during surgery?<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Your child will receive a general anesthetic to help them sleep and not feel pain during surgery. A numbing cream will also be applied to the penis. The tissue that is blocking the urethral meatus will be removed or cut. Small dissolvable stitches or surgical glue will be placed.\u00a0 The goal is to help your child pee more efficiently, comfortably, and improve the urine stream.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Will my child be in pain?<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Most children do well with the surgery. If your child is in pain, a pain medicine can help. You may alternate Acetaminophen (Tylenol\u00ae or another brand) and Ibuprofen (such as Advil\u00ae or Motrin\u00ae). Do not give aspirin because it may cause bleeding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">What can I expect after the surgery?<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-27947\" src=\"https:\/\/bazargananhospital.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Meatoplasty-300x165.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"165\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bazargananhospital.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Meatoplasty-300x165.png 300w, https:\/\/bazargananhospital.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Meatoplasty.png 466w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Before your child is discharged you will be given written information about care at home and any questions you have will be answered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Diet:<\/strong>\u00a0Resume regular diet as tolerated.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Activity:\u00a0<\/strong>Your child may return to school or daycare when pain is well controlled.
