From December 1995 to June 2000, 182 patients suffering from hypospadias were operated by using a longitudinal pedicular munocutaneous flap of the penile dorsal side including 68 patients with only procedure. Of 182 patients, 161 patients were penile form, 20 children were scrotal form and 1 child was perineal form. Postoperative complications included urethral fistular in 15 patients (8.2%), urethral stenosis in 2 patients (1.6%), glandular dehiscence in 4 patients (2.2%), and meatal stenosis in 5 children (2.7%). The results in this study showed that the method has a very good result with a very low incidence of postoperative urethral fistular.
