[Surgery on the prepuce for correction of distal hypospadias without chordee]

Distal hypospadias are the most frequent form of all. Many surgical procedures have been described. We present a series of 84 patients treated using a modification of the technique described in 1967 by Saint Aubert, known as preputioplasty. We described the technique employed. Our esthetics and functional results are excellent. There was a very low complication rate: 1.1 percent of fistulas and 2.3 percent of preputial dehiscence. In 4.7 percent of the patients there was a redundant prepuce. The final result is a non-circumcised appearance which is quite important in our sociocultural ambience.
