Urethral Mobilisation Versus Mathieu Technique for Repair of Distal Hypospadias
Sponsor: Assiut University
Summary
The aim of this research is to compare the surgical outcomes of urethral mobilization and the Mathieu technique in treating distal penile hypospadias. The study will evaluate complication rates such as fistula formation and meatal stenosis, assess functional outcomes related to urinary stream quality, and analyze cosmetic results including the appearance of the neomeatus. Ultimately, the goal is to provide evidence-based guidance for choosing the most appropriate technique to optimize surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Conditions
Interventions
Urethral mobilisation
Involves mobilizing the urethral tube proximally and advancing it distally to the glans. The urethra is repositioned and sutured at the neomeatal position.
Mathieu
Utilizes a perimeatal-based flap, which is flipped up to create the neourethra.
