A technique for the correction of bifid scrotum in patients with hypospadias.
A technique to correct a bifid scrotum in patients with severe hypospadias is described. The operation is used as a second stage procedure to 1) repair the bifid scrotum, 2) add length to the penis and 3) correct the tendency for the erect penis to point into the scrotum, eventually interfering with intromission. The procedure, which advances the penis superiorly, detaches the urethra from the prominent median raphe to correct the bifid scrotum, It has been used successfully in 3 patients.
