[Surgical correction of subcoronal hypospadias].
In 80% of hypospadias admitted in our out-patients clinic, the meatus was located at the ventral surface of glands, the balano-penile groove or the third of the shaft. In these cases we are performing an operative procedure (Duchekt, 1981) that may be accomplished with minimal complication, a short hospital stay and improve cosmetic appearance. This plastic surgical procedure incorporates a Meatal Advancement and Glandulo-Plasty (MAGPI). We have done 95 of these procedures with an hospital stay average of two days. We have not had any complications. Because of the low complication rate, the short hospitalization required and the benign postoperative course of these children, they believe it is perfectly justifiable to offer this procedure in the correction of subcoronal hypospadias.
