[Treatment of anterior hypospadias. Place of balanoplasty].

Authors report their experience of the treatment of anterior hypospadias which represent more than 71% of these cases operated all along the eight past years. The different aspects of these malformation are emphasized. For the majority of these cases the correction of the malformation may be obtained by a simple balanoplasty which gives the gland a normal form and height though directing the meatus forward; the redundant foreskin is excised and the penile skin torsion is corrected aligning the median raphe; a deficit of the ventral skin case be filled in with preputial flaps. This technic was used in fifty of the reported cases with very good results both functionally and cosmetically. This procedure is comparable to the technic described by J.W. Duckett and called Magpi for meatal advancement and glanduloplasty incorporated. The results reported here corroborate the good results already published.
