Objective:
To assess the effectiveness of Glassberg's modification of Duckett's technique in the surgical correction of severe hypospadias.
Patients And Methods:
The case notes of 24 boys who underwent hypospadias repair using this technique were reviewed, noting the severity of the lesion, the method of repair and the clinical outcome.
Results:
One operation was required in 14 (58%) of patients; complications requiring further surgery occurred in 10 boys (42%).
Conclusion:
This technique allows a single-stage procedure when otherwise a two-stage procedure would be necessary.
