220 cases of distal hypospadias: results of MAGPI and Duplay procedures. Respective place of glanduloplasty and urethroplasty.
220 distal hypospadias have been operated over a period of 10 years: 53 glandular, 144 coronal and 23 anterior penile subcoronal hypospadias with no chordee. Although with 131 MAGPI procedures we had only 3 urethral complications (one fistula, one total and one partial disunion), it does not seem to be a well adapted procedure for the correction of coronal and anterior penile hypospadias: the new meatus is not exactly apical, the glans remains short on its inferior side, and we often noticed a distal curvature at the end of the intervention. The urethroplasty technique that we performed 89 times avoids these disadvantages: the urethra is reconstructed in 2 layers as far as the summit of the glans according to Duplay's procedure, the urethrocutaneous adhesions are freed down the penis, the distal thin urethra is covered by an intermediate layer and the shortage of ventral skin is compensated for by the formation of a circular esthetic mucous annulus. There have been no complications with glandular hypospadias (7 cases), 4 with coronal hypospadias (64 cases) and 4 with anterior penile hypospadias (18 cases). While the MAGPI procedure remains an excellent technique for the correction of glandular hypospadias, the Duplay's procedure is better adapted for the correction of coronal hypospadias, in spite of the occurrence of more frequent (easily treated) fistula (6.25%). The juxta coronal position of some anterior penile hypospadias is still better repaired by the Mathieu's or the Snyder's procedures.
