Abstract

A surgical technique for the repair of complete epispadias, with emphasis on correction of the urethropenile deformity and attempt to restore normal anatomic relations has been presented. The epispadiac orifice is dissected and followed proximally to beyond the bladder neck, then brought out perineally between the bifurcated crura. The penis is denuded from its skin, then embedded in the scrotum, except for the glans penis which protrudes from the midscrotum. Penile skin is folded into a tube to be used later for urethral reconstruction. Excellent cosmetic and functional results are consistently obtained by this multi-stage technique.
