From January 1979 to August 1984, 65 patients with all types of hypospadias underwent One-stage Urethroplasty with Parameatal Flap (OUPF). The patients ages ranged from 2 to 33 years with 53 patients (81.5%) being<5 years old. 62 patients were classified as distal type while 3 patients were proximal type.
In 50 cases (77%), the procedure was primarily successful at first attempt while in other 15 cases further repair was indicated for variety of complications. In them ultimate success was obtained in 10 at the 2nd repair, and in only one patient the total repairs numbered 4 before the cure.
OUPF techniques seem to offer exellent functional and cosmetic results with a reasonable rate of complications.
