title: Measurement of blood flow in hypospadias flaps with subvisual doses of fluorescein.
abstract: Hypospadias flap viability is determined most often by direct observation or injection of visual doses of fluorescein and observation with a Woods lamp. We support the use of a dermofluorometer and subvisual doses of fluorescein to measure tissue fluorescence in predicting flap viability.
