Meatal Stenosis

Abstract

… Background: Hypospadias is one of the most common congenital anomalies occurring in males. It is a condition in which the urethral opening, called urinary meatus, does not form completely to the tip of the penis. Instead, this opening may be located anywhere along the penis. Incidence rates of hypospadias differ greatly by urologic centres. Studies reported 0.4% (1/250) to 0.8% (1/125) incidence rates in all newborn male infants. This study will help us finding the complications, mainly meatal stenosis, after repairing distal hypospadias as well as the surgical procedures preferred by our Pakistani surgeons for it. Objectives: To determine the frequency of meatal stenosis after two stage Bracka's technique procedure repair for distal penile hypospadias. Study Design: Descriptive study.
