Abstract:
:After more than 100 years of innovation in hypospadias repair, new concepts regarding penile curvature, the urethral plate, and the means for urethroplasty are changing surgical practices. With the introduction of the tubularized incised plate technique it is possible to simplify decision-making algorithms in hypospadias surgery, while achieving good functional and cosmetic results.
