Hi,
My son had his first op at 8 months where they circumsized him and made a temporay hole for him to wee out of to allow the skin to grow and mature. He was fine after this op went home after 3 days with no drains or problems weeing.
We then commenced testosterone cream in early march this year to encourage the skin growth around the penis - made a big difference allowing more skin for the second procedure. He then had his second and hopefully final op last week. This was a bit more complex as they had to reconstruct a urethra (wee tube) using the excess skin. He was initally supposed to be in hospital for ten days but we were home after five. He had a lot of sticthes and a catheter that went into his bladder. It was hard as it was so uncomfortable for him and we were constantly making sure he had plenty of pain relief on board. He had that catherter removed after a week and so far so good. He is on twice daily salt baths for six weeks and cream applied with most nappy changes. So far he is weeing well out of his new wee tube. It has been such a stressful time and it was good to be able to speak to people that were in the same boat. We are based in qld and had an excellent surgeon. Unfortunatly i dont know any one to recommend in melb. Hope this helps. If ya have any more questions send us a message as happy to chat.
