Abstract

Aim So far, various techniques have been used in the surgical treatment of proximal hypospadias. The aim of all techniques is to form a near to normal penis functionally and cosmetically. In the present study, proximal hypospadias cases operated in our clinic were evaluated.

Material method Overall 171 cases with proximal penile, penoscrotal and scrotal meatus, aged between 3 and 28 were included in the study. Early and late postoperative complication rates and factors affecting success were investigated retrospectively.

Results Sixteen cases underwent Duckett, 20 Onlay, 28 free tube, 56 Belt-Fuqua and 51 Thiersch operations. Success rate at early postoperative period was 60.8%, while it became 81.2% following secondary interventions.

Conclusion No effect of operation technique and meatus levels were observed on complication rates whilst previous operation increased complication rates significantly.
