Cep. Velhote et al., ONE-STAGE TRANSVERSE PREPUTIAL ISLAND FLAP IN THE MANAGEMENT OF MALDEVELOPED SHORT URETHRA, Pediatric surgery international, 8(4), 1993, pp. 371-372
Chordee without hypospadias is found in a small number of patients. Su
rgical treatment differs according to the length of the urethra. Somet
imes a maldeveloped short urethra requires transection to achieve good
straightening of the penis. The authors present two such patients in
whom a transverse preputial island-flap, as described by Duckett for t
he treatment of hypospadias, was used with good results.
