Abstract
Objective:
To present our experience with the Snodgrass technique for primary hypospadias repair and for reoperations.
Methods:
From May 1996 to August 1998, the Snodgrass technique was performed on 97 patients with hypospadias; 72% were distal, 19.5% were midshaft and 8.5% were proximal. Of these patients, 8.5% had a previous hypospadias repair. The patients were followed for a period of two years.
Results/Conclusions:
Complications, including fistulas, occurred in 4 patients. The cosmetic results were excellent and there were no complications in patients who had a previous urethroplasty.
