One-stage repair of proximal hypospadias using lateral penile flap-preliminary results in a single-center experience.

Abstract

Several surgical techniques, involving one-stage or multistage procedure, have been described over the years (more than 300 techniques) [1, 2], but the standard and most feasible reconstruction has not yet been identified for reconstruction of proximal hypospadias. Lateral-based flap technique is a single-stage urethral reconstruction used for proximal hypospadias with chordee [3, 4]. The aim of the present study was to describe our preliminary experience in this technique and to compare the results with those obtained by other surgeons.
