title: Distal hypospadias repair with meatal-based flaps on an outpatient basis.
abstract: We report the results of primary repairs that were performed on 52 consecutive patients with distal hypospadias as an outpatient procedure. A modified Mathieu repair with meatal-based vascularized flap was performed under 2.5 optical magnification using Scottring retractors, traction sutures, micro instruments and fine suture material. A total of 3 patients had complications that required reoperation (5.8%). One of these 3 complications was a urethrocutaneous fistula (1.9%). We found that the repair of distal hypospadias was successful with meatal-based flap using contemporary finer approaches and equipment.
