Objective: Hypospadias is one of the most common diseases of the male reproductive system. Considering the different treatment techniques for this anomaly and important complications such as fistula, meatal/neourethral stenosis, an attempt is made to use a method that has the best result and the least complication for treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the snodgraft method in repairing distal or midshaft hypospadias in terms of complications, beauty and effectiveness.
Methods: In this retrospective study, conducted Oct 2018 to Oct 2020, 60 boys with distal hypospadias or midshaft who underwent the methods of Snodgraft in Imam Khomeini and Abuzar Hospitals of Ahvaz, southern Iran were enrolled. All patients were followed up and examined for postoperative complications after surgery with intervals of 1 week, 2 weeks, monthly to 6 months and then annually.
Results: The mean age of patients was 30.1±11.3 months. No surgical diverticulitis or meatal stenosis was seen after surgery. Urethrocutaneous fistula was seen in 4 patients at initial follow-up, of these 4 patients, 1 spontaneous improvement was seen after 6 months. Urinary status was normal in all patients. Bleeding, hematoma and meatus stenosis were not observed in patients. In all patients, the appearance of meatus was very good and similar to normal people.
Conclusion: The snodgraft surgery method in repairing hypospadias is a very simple, appropriate method and with a good appearance of Glans and Meatus, and the complications of this technique are few and acceptable. To confirm our findings, prospective studies with larger sample size of patients are needed.

Article Synopsis
- This study compares the results of new surgical methods for hypospadias in boys to traditional urethroplasty techniques in a sample of 136 patients, divided into two groups based on the type of hypospadias.
- Group I received SMU I and traditional methods, while Group II was treated with SMU II and different traditional methods.
- Results showed a 92.9% recovery rate with new methods, lower complication rates, a better cosmetic outcome, and improved urine flow compared to standard methods, despite longer surgery times with new techniques.

Background: There are only a few publications in the medical literature reporting on complication rates in proximal hypospadias surgery, particularly with regard to long-term follow-up.
Methods: Over a 17.5-year period, we operated 100 patients with penoscrotal, scrotal and perineal hypospadias.

Aims: To study the role of uroflowmetry in the preoperative and early postoperative period in children undergoing hypospadias repair.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-six cases undergoing hypospadias repair over 1 year (tubularized incised plate [TIP] Snodgrass [17 patients], TIP with Snodgraft [5 patients], Duckett's onlay flap [2 patients], and Duckett's tube [2 patients] urethroplasty) were prospectively evaluated with preoperative ultrasound and uroflowmetry and postoperative uroflowmetry at 3 months after the surgery and at 6 and 9 months interval if these dates fell within the study period on follow-up. The parameters studied were maximum flow rate (Q), average flow rate (Q), total voided volume, voiding time, and type of curve.

Background: Over the past two decades, Snodgrass tubularized incised plate (TIP) urethroplasty has become one of the dominant surgical techniques with wide applications and excellent cosmetic results. However, TIP has many limitations. We performed a retrospective study at our department and assessed the outcome of the inlay internal preputial graft for extending the applications of TIP.
