Commentary to “Hypospadias repair with the glanular–frenular collar (GFC) technique”

In this study, the authors present their operative technique based on a glanular –frenular collar (GFC). The GFC technique includes approximation of the terminal ends of the diverted corpus spongiosum and the dartos tissue of the mucosal collar at the midline, which results in the formation of a septum and a frenulum between the glans wings, similar to the embryologic developm ent of the glans penis [1]. The authors specified that, in general, GFC is not specifically addressed in urethroplasties.
