New trends in the treatment of hypospadias consist on the one hand in conceptional tactics such as earlier operation, shorter hospitalization, one-stage procedures and meatal advancement in distal forms, and on the other hand in operative techniques such as the island-flap procedure for primary and the bladder-mucosa graft for secondary urethroplasty, artificial erection for chordectomy, as well as xylocaine-adrenaline injection for glanduloplasty.
