Complications include urethrocutaneous fistulas, glans dehiscence, meatal stenosis and urethral strictures. Glans dehiscence remains the most common indication for re-operative urethroplasty. The repair can be challenging because of several factors including significant scarring and paucity of genital skin. We report our experience in the management of failed hypospadias repairs at our centre. Materials & Methods: We retrospectively reviewed and analysed the inpatient and outpatient records of children/adolescents undergoing redo-hypospadias repairs during the period Jan 2010 to Dec 2019. Results: A total of 37 children with a mean age of 8.62±3.76 (2 – 17) years underwent a redo repair of hypospadias. Twenty children underwent two stage buccal mucosa urethroplasty, 11 underwent tubularized incised plate (TIP) urethroplasty, 5 dorsal inlay graft urethroplasty and 1 onlay flap urethroplasty. A t...
