[Repair of distal urethral stricture after urethroplasty of hypospadias].

OBJECTIVE

To search for a new method to repair distal urethral stricture resulting from urethroplasty of hypospadias.

METHODS

From February 2000 to March 2004, 16 patients with distal urethral stricture were treated by use of cutting stricture urethra and their distal urethra were reconstructed with phallic flap.

RESULTS

All operations were successful without complication of flap necrosis. After 7 days of operation, the patients had free micturition and thick stream of urine. Eleven patients were followed 2 months to 4 years, the satisfactory result was obtained.

CONCLUSION

It is a simple and good method to reconstruct the distal urethra by superimposing the phallic flap on the cut stricture urethra after urethroplasty of hypospadias.
