Present physical, social, and life status were evaluated by a mailed self-entry questionnaire, and clinical background and surgical outcome data were evaluated by medical records. National survey data of the general population were used as external control. The paternity rate of the patient groups was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier curve analysis and log-rank tests.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>\n              <jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Twenty-six patients (28.9%) underwent 43 reoperations after completion of the initial repair. Twelve patients were reoperated for obstructive complication (Study group) and were compared with 14 patients who were reoperated only for non-obstructive causes and 64 patients who were not reoperated as Study control group (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200978). The Study group patients showed sexual intercourse rate and marriage rate not statistically different in comparison with the Study control, although marriage rate at 32.5\u2009years old were lower than the general population (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.048, z-test). None of the Study group achieved paternity, which showed a significant difference to the Study control (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.032, log-rank test). The difference was also statistically significant in the analysis among the 31 married patients (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.012, log-rank test). Patients reoperated for obstructive complication documented worsened Quality of Life score in the International Prostate Symptom Score (2.3\u2009\u00b1\u20092.0 vs. 1.4\u2009\u00b1\u20091.2, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.031, t-test) and ejaculation problems (66.7% vs. 17.4%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.003, chi-square test).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>\n              <jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>History of reoperation for obstructive complication was associated with lower paternity rate in patients with hypospadias, presumably for multifactorial causes associated with marriage age and ejaculation problems. The present results may implicate importance of uncomplicated urethroplasty during childhood for achieving paternity, although it should be further tested in the future for larger groups of hypospadias patients.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12894-019-0512-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,4]],"date-time":"2019-10-04T12:03:28Z","timestamp":1570190608000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Analysis of the association between paternity and reoperation for urethral obstruction in adult hypospadias patients who underwent two-stage repair in childhood"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0669-8986","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Akihiro","family":"Kanematsu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shiro","family":"Tanaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takahiko","family":"Hashimoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michio","family":"Nojima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shingo","family":"Yamamoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,4]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"512_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"672","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpurol.2014.01.024","volume":"10","author":"B Schlomer","year":"2014","unstructured":"Schlomer B, Breyer B, Copp H, Baskin L, DiSandro M.
