Meatal Advancement and Glanuloplasty: An Operation for Distal Hypospadias

Abstract

Children (66) who underwent repair of distal hypospadias with the meatal advancement and glanuloplasty technique are reported. A 1-day procedure was all that was required in 52 children (80%). Brief urinary diversion was used in only 3 patients. Excellent results were achieved in 63 children and in 3 boys minor cosmetic deficiencies were encountered but none required further surgery. Meatal advancement and glanuloplasty was a successful and reliable procedure in the properly selected child with distal hypospadias.
