[Hypospadias with chordee one-stage operation. An original procedure (author's transl)]

The common management of hypospadias involves the chordee correction before reconstructing the urethra; then staging of operative cure is so often necessary. This inconvenience is avoided by neglecting some moderate chordees as it was recorded by the authors in their own retrospective series. For the last two years they are performing a one stage procedure with simultaneous correction of chordee and urethroplasty; they briefly review main other one-stage procedures before describing their own using a tubulated and inverted flap. Twenty cases were managed with this procedure and the results were found satisfactory as well as functionally and aesthetically in spite of three transient fistulas and two meatal stenosis. However, definitive conclusion cannot be drawn because of a too short follow-up.
