[The pedicled lateral flap. Its use in the treatment of anterior hypospadias].
Many methods exist for repair of anterior penile hypospadias but one of the most commonly used is certainly Mathieu's operation. However, this procedure can give rise to different complications due essentially to necrosis of a cutaneous flap brought anteriorly to reconstitute the missing portion of urethra. Based on the pedunculated cutaneous flap described by Blandy for use in urethral shortening, a proposal is made to obtain the flap for canal reconstruction laterally, this allowing conservation of its total vascularization and thus avoiding the risk of ischemic necrosis.
