Abstract
- Byars hypospadias repair is known to be simple, sound and also giving the lowest incidence of fistula formation. The authors applied this technique to 25 patients with hypospadias in this department during 5 years period from January, 1976 to December, 1980. Fourteen patients presented with penoscrotal type, 5 penile type, 3 coronal type, and 3 scrotal type. Of these patients, 9 had chordectomy only, 11 chordectomy and secondary urethroplasty, and 5 with previous chordectomy attempted elsewhere urethroplasty only. Chordectomy were performed on 20 occasions and urethroplasty on 16 occasions. NO significant morbidity was seen related to this technique, except one patient with ureterocutaneous fistula which was treated subsequently by fistula repair.
