[One-stage surgical techniques in various hypospadias locations]

Hypospadias is a common developmental anomaly in the male (8.2@1000). Over the last twenty years, one-stage operative techniques for the correction of this anomaly have been widely adopted. Two-stage procedures remain a method of choice in strictly selected cases only. In the period 1992 through 1997, thirty patients aged 2-19 years presenting different locations of hypospadias are picked out in the Department of Urology-"Alexandrovska" University Hospital. The following operative techniques are used: Magpai-Duplay-Fierlit, Flip-Flap, Duket De-Sey, Huchson, Ducet-Duplay, Ducet-Flip-Flap. The complications resulting are operatively closed within 3 months of plastic repair, and in case of stenosis of the meatus meatoplasty is done. The good results of one-stage operations in hypospadias, irrespective of the location, justify their adoption as a plastic repair method of choice.
