Meta Analysis Study of Complications Following Repair of Mid Penile Hypospadius using Different Surgical Techniques

ConclusionThe Mathieu and Preputial island flap techniques for mid-penile hypospadias reconstruction are associated with a significantly lower risk for postoperative urethral stricture and may be the preferred method for hypospadias. However, the clinical implications of the results can be discussed because the risk of stricture in all procedures was low. The implications for research are obvious because there had been no studies that provided firm guidelines on the best method for the operative intervention for hypospadias. Further trials are still needed to confirm our findings.
