Abstract:
In the repair of hypospadia, the use of bladder mucosal grafts in cases in which previous adequate foreskin for urethral reconstruction is lacking or in which previous repairs have failed, is feasible. The bladder mucosal graft offers several theoretical advantages. It is of the same histologic character as the normal urethra, is not hair bearing, tends to re-epithelialize exposed surfaces and has great dispensability. We have experienced two cases of the perineal and penoscrotal hypospadias repaired successfully by the bladder mucosal graft technique.
