Transverse preputial island flap technique for hypospadias

Abstract

Introduction: The preputial island flap can be used for urethral reconstruction in congenital or aquired defects. Method: We describe the technique with transverse preputial island flap utilised as reconstructive procedure at a 9 years old male patient with medium penile hypospadias. He has had in the past 2 failures of surgical treatment. We try to point out the contribution of the artificial erection and release of the fibrous chordee for orthoplasty. The orthotopic position of the meatus is important for micturition and fecundation. Conclusions: DUCKETT PROCEDURE is a surgical technique for hypospadias with good cosmetique, functional and emotional results.
