ABSTRACT
This comparative study was conducted on 82 patients who had underwent different types of hypospadias repair at Urology Department, Faculty of Medicine, El-Minia University, between Mars 2003 to May 2005. All patients were subjected to careful clinical examination, urine analysis and culture in presence of high bacterial count, bl. Picture and abdomino-pelvic ultrasound. Patients were divided into two similar groups and were subjected to hypospadias repair operations; group [1] with combined urethral stent and suprapubic tube and group [2] with a urethral splint only. Complications of hypospadias repair as fistula, meatal stenosis, urethral stricture and others were lower in patients with suprapubic diversion accompained with urethral stent than in those with urethral splint only. We recommend the use of suprapubic diversion and urethral stent in hypospadias repair operations as a routine work
