[One stage urethroplasty by using bladder mucosa for treatment of hypospadias].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the safety, efficacy and morbidity of one stage urethroplasty by using bladder mucosa for treatment of hypospadias.


METHODS
From August 1991 to August 2003, 38 cases of congenital hypospadias were given bladder mucosa flap procedure and one stage urethroplasty.


RESULTS
Thirty-eight cases of hypospadias treated with one stage urethroplasty by using bladder mucosa were followed up 6 months-9 years after the procedure. The success rate of the operation was 95%. Three cases of urethral fistula after the procedure were surgically repaired again, 2 cases of urethral stricture recovered after distension. The complication markedly lessened, micturation became normal with the reconstructed meatus situated at the proper site on the glands.


CONCLUSIONS
One stage urethroplasty by using bladder mucosa for treatment of hypospadias is a simple, effective and safe surgery.
