Epinephrine in the tumescent technique for hypospadia surgery

---

The use of tumescent technique, which contains epinephrine, in peni Ie surgery has not been reported previously. Two patients with hypospadias had reconstructive operation using tumescent technique with a "One-per-Mil" tumescent solution containing epinephrine intra-operatively. The results was a clear operation field, almost bloodless during dissection, and no complication on the penis after epinephrine injection with minimal edema. Apparently, the "One-per¬Mil" tumescent solution acts as anaturai hydro-dissector creating avascular anatomic tissue planes for easier and more rapid dissection in surgery for hypospadias. We suggest that epinephrine is safe to be injected in penis as a future area of clinical practice.
