Crawford modification of Denis Browne hypospadias procedure.

At Alder Hey Children's Hospital 96 hypospadias repairs were performed from 1969 to 1975, using the Crawford modification of the Denis Browne procedure. The technique is decribed in detail. A 7.29 per cent fistula rate occurred in 69 distal penile, 18 penile, 8 penoscrotal and 1 perineal repairs. The advantageous difference between the Crawford modification and the original description of Denis Browne is that the meatus is placed well onto the glans penis.
