[Denis-Browne corrective surgery of hypospadias: long-term results].
From 1971 through 1975, 59 children with hypospadias were operated upon at the Department of Paediatric Surgery of the University Children's Hospital Zürich. The external meatus was penile in 52 and scrotal or perineal in 7 cases. Average patient age at the time of definitive repair was 5 1/2 years. Fistulas or wound dehiscence developed in 22 patients (37.3%) requiring 28 reoperations. 27 patients were seen at a prearranged outpatient clinic 10 to 15 years after the last operation. All patients were satisfied with the result of the operation. None had persistent chordae or fistulas. In all patients the meatus was situated distal to the sulcus coronarius. The penis length was just below the normal range. Encouraged by the good functional and cosmetic results, we believe that the Denis Browne procedure has still its place among the other techniques for hypospadias repair.
