Comparative study between one stage and two stages procedures in penile hypospadias reconstruction

ABSTRACT

This study included 18 patients with penile hypospadias, their age ranged from 3-5.8 years with a mean of 4.4 years. They were divided into 2 equal groups. The 1st was repaired by using Mustardes method as a one stage procedure. While the 2nd group was repaired by using Bayers method as two stages procedures. The postoperative complications [devascularization of flaps, fistula, uretheral stricture, meatal stenosis, stream irrigularities, persistent chordee and uretheral diverticula] were common in the 1st group but hospital stay was more in the 2nd group. It is concluded that in cases of penile hypospadias, it is better to use two stages type of repair which gives good results with less complications
