From July 1984 to January 1994, 113 hypospadias operations were performed using a free bladder mucosa graft. There were 31 primary cases and 82 secondary cases in which prior operations had been done. The meatus was penile in 33 patients, penoscrotal in 72 and perineal in 8. The cosmetic and functional results were satisfactory. Postoperative complications included 8 fistulas that required closure and 6 cases of stenosis treated by dilation. Our results suggest that hypospadias repair with a bladder mucosa graft is feasible and reliable. The technique has been performed successfully in the most complex as well as simple cases in adults and adolescents.
