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.
