Urinary fistulas are unfortunately one of the most common post operative complications in hypospadias repairs and bladder neck transections on pediatric and adult populations, an estimated 20%, resulting in multiple repeat operations with prolonged hospitalization. The negative sequelae of these fistulas have significant financial and psychosocial impact and the aim of this study is to evaluate if the fresh frozen preserved amniotic membrane tissue studied, which have live cells and intact naturally occurring growth hormones and peptides that augment healing that have been shown in early studies to be effective facilitating previous failed fistula repairs and leg ulcer healing, respectively, will help reduce the incidence of urinary fistulas in subject populations.
