Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo introduce a new procedure for repairing coronal or subcoronal hypospadias with severe chordee.
METHODSA modified technique of elongating the anterior urethra, combined with the MAGPI procedure, was used to repair the coronal or subcoronal hypospadias in 19 severe chordee patients (aged 5 to 12 years). The fibrous bands on the ventral aspect of the penis were excised to correct the chordee. If the penile curvature still remained, the corpora cavernosa dissection and elongation could be applied.
RESULTSAll of the patients were successfully treated by this procedure in one stage.
CONCLUSIONSThe modified technique of the anterior urethra elongation, combined with MAGPI procedure, might be one of the simple and effective method for repairing coronal or subcoronal hypospadias with severe chordee.
