Abstract
Of 253 consecutive hypospadias repairs by various surgeons, using the Byars technique, 57 (22 percent) had postoperative fistulae; 41 required one operation, 9 required two operations, and 7 required more than two operations for closure of these fistulae. Other complications were infrequent. When performed either by attending or resident physicians, the Byars hypospadias repair produced complete correction of the chordee, a urethra of satisfactory length and caliber, normal penile appearance, and a fistula rate comparable to that reported after other procedures.Keywords
