title: Repair of coronal and subcoronal hypospadias: an 8-year retrospective study.
abstract: Twenty-three patients undergoing treatment for coronal and subcoronal hypospadias over an 8-year period were reviewed. A ventral skin tube inlay graft was used in all cases, and a comparison made between Nesbitt's button hole technique and three other procedures used for ventral skin cover. The button hole procedure was associated with fewer fistulae and provided acceptable cosmesis.
