The use of small intestinal submucosa graft for hypospadias repair: Pilot study

Abstract

The prefabricated SIS graft can be used as an alternative substitute for urethral reconstruction when genital skin is insufficient or lacking, as in circumcised patients or a repeat hypospadias repair. Graft infection is the chief reason for graft failure and should be prevented. Further studies with more patients are needed to confirm these preliminary results.
