[A transglandular tunnel in the treatment of hypospadias].
A technique and the results of the creation of a transglandular tunnel for the more aesthetic repair of hypospadias is reported. The tunnel is not trocardisized through the glans but really excised. This reduced considerably the risk of stenosis, as this occurred only 9 times in 112 cases. In only three of them a reoperation was necessary. Sensibility of the glans remains normal after the operation while the appearance is a nearly normal.
