title: [Dorsal meatoplasty for the treatment of meatal stenosis in patients with balanitis xerotica obliterans].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To present our experience in the treatment of meatal stenosis secondary to balanitis xerotica obliterans with the dorsal meatoplasty technique.
  
  
  METHODS
  We have performed dorsal meatoplasty in 15 patients suffering stenosis of the penile meatus secondary to balanitis xerotica obliterans. All cases were performed under local anesthesia, using an inverted V incision plasty following the original of technique from Malone.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All patients showed an improvement in uroflowmetry as well as an excellent aesthetic result, with low incidence of scattered urinary stream; there was a high satisfaction index evaluated by a questionnaire.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Dorsal meatoplasty with inverted V incision is an easy-to-perform technique, which may be done under local anesthesia, avoids the development of post-operative hypospadias, and achieves excellent aesthetic and functional results with a low recurrence rate; therefore, we consider it should be included in the list of frequently performed procedures of the urologist.
