BURIED STRIP URETHROPLASTY- REGENERATIVE PRINCIPAL REVISITEDPROMISING RESULT IN HYPOSPADIAS REPAIR.

Synopsis More than 250 types of surgeries for hypospadias repair is described in literature and the sheer number of it gives an idea about the difculties in hypospadias repair.Broadly, these surgeries can be classied as tubularised or detubularised repair techniques of hypospadias. In the current times, tubularised techniques have been more popular although it has its own share of disadvantages and failure rates. In this Objective: article we are describing a regenerative - nontubularised technique of hypospadias repair based on buried strip principle done on 21 hypospadiac patients and the results have been very encouraging. 21 hypospadiac patients were i Methods: ncluded in this study who had glanular/subcoronal, Distal penile or mid penile hypospadias. Among these 5 were a redo hypospadias repair surgery. overall signicant complication rate in Results: our study was 19%. 2 patients (9.5%) needed further surgical intervention in our study. One patient developed scrotal hematoma, and another patient developed supercial epithelial blackening and skin loss. Urethrocutaneous stula developed in 5 patients, 4 of them got corrected just by regular meatal calibration, and one patient needed needling. We found nontubularised re Conclusion: generative buried strip urethroplasty to be an easier, simple and effective technique to correct hypospadias with promising results, atleast for anterior and penile hypospadias till now. Results for more complex posterior cases with signicant chordee are under study at present.
