[Treatment of anterior hypospadias. Balanoplasty].
The authors present their experience of balanoplasty in the treatment of anterior hypospadias. These forms of hypospadias are defined as those where the meatus is situated at the base of the glans, at the level of the balano-preputial groove or just before, without any real chordee. The treatment involves re-siting the meatus in the penis. These forms represent 70% of all cases of hypospadias. This type of hypospadias is corrected by an extensive meatoplasty towards the tip with reconstitution of the glans and re-centering of the sheath of the penis. This gives good aesthetic and functional results. This technique was designed by J. W. Duckett who named it M.A.G.P.I. (meatal advancement and glanduloplasty incorporated) and has been used in 78 cases; the indications, the method and the results are presented.
