Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Hypospadias is a common congenital condition affecting the male urethra.
  • Distal hypospadias repair requires precise surgical techniques to ensure functional and cosmetic outcomes.
  • The Glanular Adhesion Procedure (GAP) is a surgical option for hypospadias repair.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the technical aspects of the Glanular Adhesion Procedure (GAP) for distal hypospadias repair.
  • To share preliminary findings on the efficacy and outcomes of the GAP technique.

Main Methods:

  • Description of the technical steps involved in performing the GAP procedure.
  • Review of initial postoperative results from approximately 20 cases.

Main Results:

  • Encouraging immediate postoperative outcomes with a low complication rate.
  • Reported complications include 2 fistulae and 1 case of meatal stenosis.
  • Preliminary cosmetic results are noted as a potential benefit.

Conclusions:

  • The GAP procedure demonstrates potential as an additional surgical tool for hypospadias repair.
  • Short-term follow-up suggests favorable initial results.
  • Long-term validity and cosmetic outcomes require further investigation through extended follow-up.
