ABSTRACT
<p><b>AIM</b>Orifice stenosis remained to be a common complication of hypospadias repair. We had modified the preputial island flap urethroplasty by folding and everting the distal end of the pedicle graft flap to prevent the neo-orifice from stenosis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Sixteen patients had undergone hypospadias repair using a modified onlay island flap technique. A urethral catheter was retained for 8 days to 10 days after operation.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Satisfactory results were seen in all the patients with a cosmetically fine appearance. One patient had a urinary tract infection and another, urethrocutaneous fistula and both were amply treated. No glanular adhesion or stenosis occurred. A long-term follow up of 6 months to 4 years (mean: 2 years) in 15 patients did not find any complication.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The modified preputial island flap urethroplasty technique is an easy, reliable and effective approach to reduce orifice stenosis in hypospadias repair.</p>
