Repair of distal penile hypospadias with (meateal based flap) Mathieu technique.
Pak J Med Health Sci Jan ;4(4):359-61.

Hypospadias is one of the most common congenital anomalies amenable to surgery. The efficacy of Mathieu (meatal based flap) procedure for distal penile hypospadias was evaluated. The study was carried out from September 2006 to August, 2010 in the Department of Urology, Nawaz Sharif Social Security Hospital, Lahore. Seventy patients of distal penile hypospadias with age range 2-25 years were treated. Complications were seen in 19 patients. Ten (14.2%) patients developed urethrocutaneous fistula and four (5.7%) total disruption. Five (7.1%) patients developed meatal stenosis which was managed by regular dilatation. Overall success rate was 80%. It is concluded that this is a good technique and can be applied safely for the repair of distal penile hypospadias.
