We describe a new procedure in which dorsal penile skin is used to correct hypospadias in circumcised patients and those in whom surgical correction usually is difficult. Of 48 hypospadiac patients treated by this technique 26 (54 per cent) had been circumcised previously, while 22 (46 per cent) had undergone a prior hypospadias repair that resulted in marked tissue scarring and fistulas. The procedure is accomplished in 2 stages. In stage 1 the urethra is reconstructed and the penis is buried in the scrotum. Separation is done after an average of 6 weeks (stage 2). The results were satisfactory in 45 patients and in all cases a viable new urethra of adequate caliber and length was created with the end at the tip of the glans. The procedure is simple and safe, and complications were minimal.
