Abstract
Urethral stricture and meatal stenosis are the second most common complication of hypospadias surgery, after urethrocutaneous fistula. It is difficult to determine the exact incidence of these complications, but in a textbook of paediatric surgery published in 1986 Belman presented a table drawing data from 21 publications (from 1974 to 1981) and the range was 0–22.7% (Belman 1986). In two more recent textbooks of paediatric urology, both published in 2001, Belman (2001) and Mouriquand and Mure (2001) devoted considerably less space to the complications of stricture and stenosis, with Mouriquand and Mure claiming that the incidence of stenosis had significantly decreased since surgeons were no longer employing circumferential anastomoses. This claim is supported by the work of Harris and Jeffrey (1989) and Kumar and Harris (1994), who reported a 9–31% incidence of early stricture when the inner preputial skin was tubularised as a one-stage repair.
