Comparative study of Hodgson I and King's methods of 1-stage hypospadias repair.
We compared the surgical results of the Hodgson I and King's methods of repair with and without urinary diversion in 33 patients with juxtaglandular to mid shaft hypospadias and mild to moderate chordee. Over-all, fistulas developed along the suture line in 4 patients, of whom only one underwent urinary diversion. Of 21 cases in which King's method of repair was done only 1 fistula developed. Of the 12 cases repaired by the Hodgson I method fistulas developed in 3 and 1 had a stricture at the site of the new urethro-urethral anastomosis. The best surgical results were achieved in those patients who had undergone King's method of repair with urinary diversion.
