[The surgical treatment of hypospadias and related problems].
Of 33 patients with hypospadias operated on consecutively by a single surgeon between 1977 and 1986, 27 had undergone a 2-stage Belt-Fuqua procedure and 6 were repaired using several types of a one-stage method. The over-all success rate was 64%. Meanwhile, a fistula developed in 6 patients, meatal stenosis in 3; the over-all complication rate was 36%. A comparative review of late complications is presented. Efforts should be made to achieve excellent functional as well as cosmetic results.
