Background: Megameatus intact prepuce (MIP) variant is considered a surgical challenge with associated high complication rates. It is usually diagnosed and corrected only after neonatal circumcision, which is discouraged in non-MIP hypospadias.

Objective: In order to determine whether the features of the MIP variant or the performance of a secondary reconstruction following circumcision comprise the cause of higher complication rates, we now compared the results of post-circumcision MIP hypospadias repair to the results of children who underwent repair of non-MIP hypospadias following neonatal circumcision.

Purpose: To present the results of hypospadias repair in the absence of preputial skin following neonatal circumcision, and the analyses of surgical techniques and predictors of procedural success.

Methods: Records of all children who underwent hypospadias repair between 10/1999 and 12/2018 were retrospectively reviewed. All of those who underwent neonatal circumcision prior to surgery were included.

Background: Megameatus intact prepuce (MIP) is a rare variant of hypospadias. Unlike the hooded ventrally absent prepuce in non-MIP hypospadias, the prepuce in MIP hypospadias is fully circumferential and intact. The distal urethra remains wide with a deep glanular groove.

Objective: To evaluate the success rates of a simple posthypospadias urethrocutaneous fistula repair.

Study Design: We evaluated children who underwent urethrocutaneous fistula closure by means of a simple standard technique in which the fistula tract was dissected to its base and resected and the urethral defect closed with a single layer of continuous sutures and covered with local subcutaneous tissue. No urethral stents or catheters were used, and the patients were discharged on the same day.
