title: Urethral stricture in adult as a consequence of childhood hypospadias repair.
abstract: We report our experience in treating such patients. A retrospective chart review was performed from 2004 through 2007 in Urology Department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital by using the convenient type of purposive sampling. In cases undergoing perineal urethrostomy, we suggested the "side-to-side" technique, which comprised longitudinal urethrotomy and everting the mucosal and submucosal layers of the urethra to the incised skin. Graft-based urethroplasty using buccal mucosal graft, in one-stage or two-stage repairs, was the preferred choice of formal reconstruction. Patients undergoing hypospadias surgery should receive lifelong follow-up protocol to detect latent urethral strictures (Fig. 8, Ref. 12).
