[Cecil-Duplay/Cecil-Leveuf urethral reconstruction in severe hypospadias].

A total of 199 boys with severe hypospadias were subjected to surgery during 1981 to 1984 at the Department of Surgery of the Red Cross Paediatric Hospital in Siegen and from 1971 to 1984 at the Department of Surgery of the Municipal Paediatric Hospital in Cologne. Plastic reconstruction of the urethra was performed according to a multiple-stage technique after Cecil-Duplay/Cecil-Leveuf. It is evident that good results can be obtained in such severe forms of hypospadias by means of differentiated multistep surgery. A fistula rate of 14% is an essential improvement over the results previously obtained by the urethral reconstruction method after Denis-Browne.
