ABSTRACT
Aim:
To improve the results of tubularized plate urethroplasty by adding de-epithelized flap. Patients andMethods:
Twenty-five cases of hypospadias who underwent Snodgrass urethroplasty using de-epithelialized flap were studied. The minimum period of follow-up in this series was 1 year.Results:
The resultant neo-meatus was vertically oriented and slit like. Glans was conical which is cosmetically well accepted. Penile raphe was in the midline. None of the patient had residual chordee; penile torsion; or glans dehiscence. Excellent cosmetic results were observed in all cases. The complication rate in our series was 8(two cases). Two patients developed fistula.Conclusion:
De-epithelialized flap is a simple method to provide additional covering to the constructed neourethra after Snodgrass urethroplasty. It achieves our goal of noncrossing suture lines and providing maximum vascularity
