MAGPI hypospadias repair: ambulatory versus inpatient surgery.
Over a one-year period, 96 consecutive children with distal hypospadias underwent mental advancement and glanuloplasty (MAGPI) for hypospadias repair. In a prospective study, 56 were operated on as inpatients, and 40 underwent repair as outpatients. It was determined that MAGPI can be performed safely and cost-effectively on an ambulatory basis.
