Sažetak
From January 1979 to December 1979 inclusive, 193 boys (aged 2 to 16) underwent surgery for distal hypospadia using Ombredanne's method at the Department of Pediatrics Surgery University Hospital Center Rijeka and at the Department of Pediatric Surgery Zagreb, Follow-up period was 7 to 20 years (mean 13.4). 20 (10.36%) subjects had post-operative organic comlications and 15 (7.77%) of them required surgical correction. According to these findings , the success rate using Ombredanne's method of reconstruction of the hypospadfic urethra in no way lags ehind the success rate using MAGPI and Mathieuu's method as wll as "preputial island flap urethroplasty" for analogous cases. Out of 193 subjects who underwent surgery, 80 (41.45%) of those who were sexually mature and had normal psychosexual development were questioned. In this sample, 75 (93.75%) were satisfied with the post-operative appearance of the penis while only 5 (6.25%) were dissatisfied, 3 of which had hypoplastic penis. In 78 (97.5%) subjects questioned , the post-operative urinary squirt was normal and two of them had weak urinary squirt (2.5%), due to meatal stenosis.In conclusion, Ombredanne's method of reconstruction of the urethra in boys with distal hypospadia is equally successful as other methods for this purpose.
