The Hypospadias Silicone Loop: A Method to Treat Strictures of the Distal Reconstructed Urethra

Abstract

The silicone loop was used to ensure patency of the distal urethra reconstructed by a tabularized full-thickness skin graft in patients with proximal or penoscrotal hypospadias. By this method we avoid repeated dilations of the urethra and the attendant anesthesia and discomfort to the patient.
