Abstract:
A clinical observation was made on 112 cases of hypospadias which were treated at the Department of Urology, Seoul National University Hospital during the period June 1977 through May 1982. The results were as follows: 1. The ages were distributed from 7 months to 31 years and most of the cases (64.3%) was treated in the age group of less than 7 years. 2. Most of the types of hypospadias was penoscrotal type (43.8%). 3. Cryptorchism was the most frequent associated anomalies with 21 cases (18.8%). 4. The complication rate of other anomalies was greatest in the perineal type (81.8%). 5. Success rate of one-stage urethroplasty was 52.9%. 6. In two-stage operation, the first stage operation of 97 cases was successful except one of incomplete chordee release and the success rate of Thiersch-Duplay and Johanson second stage urethroplasty was 44.4% and 66.7% respectively. 7. As the urethral stent was used in the urethroplasty, the success rate of use of silastic tube was better than red rubber and feeding tube.
