ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Mathieu's technique (peri-meatal based flap) makes use of the urethral plate in the repair of anterior hypospadias; thereby creating an almost natural neo-urethra. In a circumcised baby or after previous unsuccessful repair; Mathieu's flap may be one of the few options left to repair anterior hypospadias.Objectives:
To evaluate the result of Mathieu's flap repair for anterior hypospadias in a resource poor setting.Materials andMethod:
This is a retrospective review of post-circumcision anterior hypospadias managed by Mathieu's flap repair between January 1996 and December 2006 in the paediatric surgical unit of the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital; a tertiary hospital in the South Western Nigeria.Results:
Mathieu's flap repair was performed in 16 patients with isolated anterior hypospadias; 15 (93.8) were circumcised before presentation. The complications were urethrocutaneous fistula in 3 (18.8); wound infection in 2 (12.5) and flap necrosis in 1 patient (6.3). Final outcome was satisfactory in all patients.Conclusion:
Mathieu's flap remains a viable option in the repair of anterior hypospadias even after circumcision
