title: Reconstruction of foreskin in distal hypospadias repair.
abstract: In the period between 1980 and 1985 101 one-stage repairs for distal hypospadias were carried out. Fifty-five patients were operated on using the Magpi technique as originally described by Duckett (1981). The hypospadias of the remaining 46 patients were corrected using a modification of this technique incorporating reconstruction of the foreskin. The technique of the modified, prepuce-preserving operation is described. Despite complications such as moderate meatal stenosis, fistulae and glandular-meatal as well as foreskin dehiscence, the overall functional and cosmetic results were very good.
