Abstract
A technique is described for correction of distal hypospadias with minimal chordee by tubularizing the urethral plate. The key step is deep longitudinal incision of the plate, which allows for tubularization without the need for additional flaps. The resultant neourethra is functionally adequate and an excellent cosmetic result with a vertically oriented meatus is achieved. A total of 16 boys underwent the procedure with no case of meatal stenosis or fistula occurring during a median followup of 22 months.
