Measurement of blood flow in hypospadias flaps with subvisual doses of fluorescein.
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.
