Case report: The use of a urethral diverticulum to cover the penis in a hypospadias cripple
Journal Title: Pediatric Urology Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
A boy presented as a hypospadias cripple, with anatomy that included a very large diverticulum and little residual external penile skin. The degree of excess skin-like tissue of the diverticulum was sufficient to enable eversion of the longitudinally incised diverticulum and formation of a urethra from the diverticular tissue at a second operation with ultimately an excellent result.
