Distal penile hypospadias repair in children, with complete mobilization of pendulous urethra and triangular glandular flap.
OBJECTIVE
To present a technique for repair of distal hypospadias.


METHODS
Sixteen children (average age 6.6 years) were treated between January 1985 and January 1991. The procedure is described.


RESULTS
One child developed a mild meatal stenosis and another had a small urethral fistula; both responded to treatment. Results were excellent in the remaining 14 patients.


CONCLUSIONS
This simple operative procedure was successful in the majority of patients and there were only two minor complications.
