CASE REPORT: THE USE OF A URETHRAL DIVERTICULUM TO COVER THE PENIS IN A HYPOSPADIAS CRIPPLE

Abstract

Paddy Dewan

A boy presented as a hypospadias cripple, with anatomy that included a very large diverticulum and little residual external penile skin. The degree of excess skin-like tissue of the diverticulum was sufficient to enable eversion of the longitudinally incised diverticulum and formation of a urethra from the diverticular tissue at a second operation with ultimately an excellent result.
