A New Technique for Skin Closure in Hypospadias: Ipsilateral Penoscrotal Approximation for Closure

Abstract: Sixteen patients, between 2 and 45 years old, with hypospadias underwent repair with our new skin closure procedure called ipsilateral penoscrotal approximation for closure (IPSAC). Complete functional success was obtained in all 6 patients with distal hypospadias and in 7 of 10 patients with proximal hypospadias. Meatal regression and urethrocutaneous fistula were complications in one-stage repair. Another urethrocutaneous fistula resulted from fifth-stage repair in the case of an adult hypospadias cripple.

“…For psy chological and social reasons, we think hypospadias re pair should be completed before the age of 4 years. We have reported our experience with one-stage repair in severe hypospadias [1][2][3].
