EXPERIENCE OF THE TREATMENT OF HYPOSPADIA S AT TREICHVILLE UNIVERSITYHOSPITAL (ABIDJAN)

From 1984 to 1994, 105 children with hypospadias were seen. Only 52 of them were treated, Hypospadias was distal (glandular subglandular or subcoronal hypospadias) in 38.4 % of cases and involved the penile dis tal shaft or penile midshaft in 38.4 % and posterior hypospadias in 23 % of cases, Meatotomy with circumcision was permormed in 70 % of case s of distal hypospadias, The best results were obtained with distal pe nile shaft hypospadias by Mathieu's method. The fistula rate was high (17.3 %), 2-or-3-stage treatment of posterior hypospadias is now perfo rmed in one stage using Duckett's or Duplay's method. The results of t hese methods are discussed.
