Study Summary

We aime to compare between Snodgrass and grafted Snodgrass repair in the outcome in distal penile hypospadias with urethral plate less than 8mm

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria: Children age: > 6m up to 16y

  • Distal penile hypospadias(distal shaft,coronal,subcoronal )
  • mid penile hypospadias with mild chordae les 30 degree
  • Urethral plate <8 mm in maximum transverse diameter before the midline urethral plateincision .Primary non-circumcised cases of hypospadias

Study Description

The main goal for hypospadias repair is to achieve both cosmetic and functional normality.

Several surgical techniques for hypospadias repair have been developed that depend on the site of the urethral meatus in children The effect of the urethral plate characteristics on the surgical outcome of Snodgrass repair has been studied in many series. Some documented that urethral plate width has a significant impact on the complication rates Holland and Smith reported a high complication rate in Snodgrass repair with a urethral plate width of less than 8 mm 7 The augmentation of the urethral plate either with inlay graft (DIGU, Snodgraft, or G-TIP), Onlay preputial flap, or other flaps carries a better outcome than the original TIP in many studies Others denied any effect of the narrow urethral plate on the success rate We aim in this study to determine which is better in narrow urethral plate in distal penile hypospadias, as regarding surgical and cosmetic outcomes; Snodgrass or combined inner preputial graft with Snodgrass
