Yoke hypospadias repair.
A new one-stage operation for correction of the more severe degrees of proximal hypospadias is described. This allows for the correction of chordee and maintains a dual vascular supply to the urethral flap derived from periurethral and pedicle blood vessels. This technique allows for correction of chordee and urethroplasty, and avoids the need for combination or staged repairs.
