A manoeuvre to locate the distal urethral opening at the tip of the glans in the final stage of Cecil-Culp urethroplasty.
One of the drawbacks of Cecil-Culp urethroplasty for hypospadias is its failure to place the distal urethral meatus at the tip of the glans when the scrotal flap is detached. This paper describes a manoeuvre to overcome this drawback with the help of a small flap from the median raphe of the scrotum at the third and final stage of Cecil-Culp urethroplasty. Relevant illustrations from a case and line drawings are included to describe the procedure. A small note is appended as a comment.
