title: [Which technic for which form of hypospadias?].
abstract: Based on our experience of 700 interventions for hypospadias from 1980 to 1995, the author describes the important factors to take in consideration to decide upon the ultimate technique to use. This choice is quiet easy for a mild or severe hypospadias, and is essentially based on the use of the Transverse Island Flap, used as a tube or as on Onlay, depending the existence of chordee and curvature, the surface of the prepuce and the length of the urethral defect. For cases of distal hypospadias, the choice of the right technique is even more difficult. Factors to be considered are, chordee or not, aspect and localisation of the meatus, the shape and the volume of the glans, the quality of skin recovering the distal urethra and presence or not of corpus spongiosum at the level of the distal urethra. The author discusses the importance of all this parameters, combined or not, in the choice of which technique for which hypospadias.
