Overtheyears our results of urethroplasty for hypospadias were dissatisfactory. We have used different surgical methods for repair of hypospadias and we had had about 76% fistula formation, urethroplasty break-down. For this reason, we are looking for surgical procedures which can improve our results such as less complications and good cosmetic appearance of the glans. The tubularised, incised plate urethroplasty for distal hypospadias described in the literature is a very attractive procedure with few reported complications and good cosmetic results.
