title: [Anterior hypospadias: one stage repair. Report of 40 cases].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Anterior hypospadias is estimated to 60-71% of whole hypospadias. The treatment is delicate and expose to iterative cures. The aim of this study is to review therapeutic aspects of anterior hypospadias of which treatment are first performed by one-stage repair in two departments of urology from Dakar.
  
  
  METHODS
  It's a retrospective study reporting 40 cases of anterior hypospadias operated between January 1988 and December 2002. Therapeutic results were judged according following criteria: quality of orthoplasty, cosmetic aspect, situation of neo-urethral meatus, permeability of urethra and existence of fistula or not. The results were classified good, mean or worse.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The following techniques were used: Mathieu (18 cases), Duplay (14), MAGPI (Meatal Avancement and Glandulo-Plasty Incorporated) 2 cases, Mustarde (2 cases), TGUA (Trans Glandular Urethral Avancement) 4 cases. The mean age of patients was 7,2 years (5 months-19 years). The hypospadias was granular (5%), subcoronar (25%), and anterior penile (70%). Results were good in 62, 5% of cases and worse in 20% of cases.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In our way of work, for improving the treatment of anterior hypospadias, it is necessary to have microsurgical material and to modify the urinary drainage mode.
