Plate urethroplasty (Snodgrass repair) versus traditional techniques for repair of distal hypospadias - abstract

ABSTRACT

The Mathieu technique and MAGPI repair have traditionally been the standard choices for distal hypospadias repair. Plate urethroplasty has recently been suggested as an alternative. Over a 2 year period, of 31 patients who presented with distal hypospadias 19 had the Mathieu repair and 12 had plate urethroplasty (Snodgrass repair). The results in the latter group were superior.(AU)
