Overview

Five-year experience reports successful outcomes of hybrid urethroplasty in severe hypospadias, suggesting effectiveness in challenging cases.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the outcomes of hybrid Snodgrass–Duckett urethroplasty for severe hypospadias in various patient groups.
  • Conducted a retrospective analysis of 42 patients undergoing hybrid urethroplasty from 2019 to 2024.
  • Categorized patients into three groups based on clinical characteristics: Disorders of Sexual Development, primary proximal hypospadias, and multiple prior repairs.
  • Implemented a hybrid technique using Snodgrass TIP repair and Duckett flap with specific anatomical strategies.
  • Achieved a glans-tip meatus in all patients.
  • 95.2% had normal uroflowmetry results.
  • Reported a complication rate of 16.7%, with all complications corrected successfully.
  • No urethral strictures or meatal stenosis emerged during follow-up.
