Objective To explore an effective method to repair penile-scrotal or perineal hypospadias in one stage with prepuce island flap.Methods Different prepuce island flaps were designed according to thedifferent pathological anatomy of the penile-scrotal or perineal hypospadias. The prepuce island flaps were thus translocated and sutured to form the urethra.Thirty-one cases of hypospadias (21 cases of peinil-scrotal type, 10 cases of perineal type) were repaired with prepuce island flap.The biggest length and the width of the prepuce island flapwere 7.5 cm and 1.5-1.8 cm respectively.Results All the cases resulted in a good contour of the penis and a normal anatomic position of urethral meatus without any redundancy or tortuosity.The urination was perfect and acceptable.Conclusion One stage repair of penilescrotal or perineal hypospadias with prepuce island flap can be considered as an acceptable effective surgical technique.
