Abstract
An improved surgical approach to glanuloplasty in male epispadias repair is reported. The 3 essential steps of this repair include 1) reverse meatal advancement and glanuloplasty, 2) excision of redundant glans wing tissue bilaterally and 3) creation of a glandular urethra with a 2-layer glans closure. In more than 200 cases this technique has proved successful in producing a cosmetically satisfactory glans with a low rate of fistula formation (less than 5%).
