Hypospadias is one of the most common anomalies in boys. Many surgical techniques for reconstruction of distal hypospadias have been described, each method having a different success rate. Our objective in this study is the assessment of the surgical technique for repair of distal hypospadias by construction of a neourethra from the augmented urethral plate with two lateral strips of glanular skin, coverage with a dartos flap, and followed by skin closure with preputial skin flap.
