Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the effect of improved Snodgrass operation of hypospadias repair. Methods: From January 2005 to December 2008, 31 patients with hypospadias underwent improved Snodgrass operation. Their ages ranged from 2 to 18 years with a mean of 7.2 years. The type of hypospadias were glans (n=11), pe-nile shaft (n= 18) and scrotal (n=2) respectively. Results:29 cases were cured in the first operation (93.55%). Urethral fistula occurred in 1 patient (1/31, 3.22%), who recovered after the second repair with improved snodgrass operation at 6 months post the first surgery. One patients (3. 22%) developed mild meatal stenosis and were successfully managed by simple dilatation. Conclusions:Improved snodgrass operation can retain the urethral plate, and has several advantages including simple technique, short operative time, fewer complications and cos-metic results. Cosmetic results can be gained for the second repair by using improved snodgrass operation. Im-proved snodgrass operation is a better method for patients with hypospadias.
