Comparative study of Mathieu and Snodgrass repair for anterior hypospadias.

Abstract

A total of 90 cases were studied. Mathieu repair was performed in 45 patients and tubularized incised plate (TIP) urethroplasty (Snodgrass procedure) in the rest of 45 patients. Cosmetic results were excellent with Snodgrass repair with a normal looking slit like meatus. Meatal stenosis and wound breakdown was equal in each group whereas urocutaneous fistula and proximal urethral stricture were seen more frequently in Mathieu group.
