title: [Personal experiences with the MAGPI technic in the correction of distal hypospadias].
abstract: Between 1 January 1983 and 31 January 1986, 18 patients with distal hypospadias underwent corrective surgery using the MAGPI technique. The age of the young patients varied from 2 months to 12 years. Indication for an operation was mandatory by the presence of meatal stenosis (3 patients), which included the correction of the glans as well as the resection of the foreskin at the same time, or in case of the other children at the request of the parents who wished to prevent social discrimination. 12 patients were operated on using the simple MAGPI technique, whereas 6 underwent an operation extended by the rotation flap technique according to Byars. 16 of the 18 small patients showed excellent results regarding function (miction) as well as cosmetics. In 2 patients the cosmetic results were not entirely satisfactory although their parents were content with the outcome of the operation.
