MP-02.04: Can a slit-like meatus be achieved with the V incision sutured meatoplasty for onlay island flap hypospadias repair?

Abstract

The transverse preputial onlay island urethroplasty is excellent for hypospadias repair of anterior hypospadias without chordee. Because a slit-like normal meatus could not be constructed in many patients who underwent the original onlay island flap repair, we applied a V incision sutured meatoplasty which Boddy and Samuel developed to provide a natural vertical slit-like glanular meatus for the Mathieu flip-flaps, to our onlay urethroplasty. We evaluated whether the V incision sutured meatoplasty is useful to the configuration of the constructed meatus for the onlay flap as well as the flip-flap.
