title: [Surgical repair of hypospadias with urethral burying and scrotal skin flap transplantation].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the surgical approach to repair hypospadias.
  
  
  METHODS
  From 1992 to 2000, 42 cases with hypospadias accepted secondary urethroplasty after primary operation, which included urethral burying in penile skin, bladder mucosa and scrotal septal vascular pedicled flap urethroplasty, trans-scrotal skin flap covering the wounds with normal meatus urinarius.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Only one, out of 42 cases, had early complication of urinary fistula in 7 days after urethroplasty, which was cured by scrotal septal vascular pedicled flap urethroplasty 3 months later and had no further complication. The others were all succeeded once for all, the successful rate was 97.6%.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The surgical method to repair hypospadias by urethral burying and transscrotal skin flap technique is safe, reliable and recommendable for clinical use.
