Correction of penile curvatures caused by unsuccessful hypospadias repair using the scrotal septum pedicled skin tube principle combined with corporoplasty and a modified meatoglanuloplasty.
Scrotal septum pedicled skin tube urethroplasty combined with a modified meatoglanuloplasty and corporoplsty were used in 2 adults. They had three previous hypospadias repair attempts in their childhood, leaving them with a meatus near the glans but with severe ventral penile curvature. Scrotal septum pedicled skin flaps used for the repair, by providing natural vascularization and offering more flexibility, allow the surgeon to reconstruct long urethral defects. The cosmetic and functional results of this combined technique are satisfactory. This principle can also be applied in adult hypospadias cases with deficient preputium in which the midanterior scrotum contains a shiny non-hair-bearing skin.
