[Correction of anterior or distal hypospadia using the Mathieu-Righini technic]

In a overall series of 1621 hypospadias operated on, the Authors describe the technical aspects and report the precise indications and results in 141 cases of anterior and middle penile hypospadias using the one-stage Mathieu-Righini repair. This technique has resulted in remarkably few complications and very nice aesthetic results. There was a remarkably low (3.5%) rate of fistula and no urethral stenosis without necessity of postoperative urethral dilatations. The penis looks "normal" in appearance as well as in function.
