title: [Changes in traditional techniques in anterior hypospadias].
abstract: After confirming that the Magpi and Mathieu techniques are not sufficient for the adequate treatment of 100% of the anterior forms of hypospadias and observing that they often cause defects in the appearance of the meatus, 23 patients were selected and treated with traditional urethroplasties modified by the pyramid technique (King), the Barcat technique, or both, with satisfactory results in all cases. These techniques which are easy to perform, effectively contribute to improving the final appearance of the penis, do not involve major operating time, and present a lower incidence of complications than the traditional techniques.
