Animal experimental study on surgical repair of hypospadias by free peritoneal graft

Abstract

Surgical repair of hypospadias was successfully performed by using free peritoneal graft in the model of rabbit hypospadias. The results showed that free peritoneal graft used as a substitute for urathra had a high survival rate, and the canal was formed well. Our study demonstrated that peritoneum could be used for the surgical repair of hypospadias and other urethral disorders such as urethral stricture.
