Study Overview

Brief Summary

  • Purpose** To compare the Slit-like Adjusted Mathieu (SLAM) technique versus the inner transverse preputial onlay island flap for repair of anterior and mid-penile hypospadias with narrow urethral plate, evaluating complication rates, surgical outcomes, and cosmetic results.
  • Methods** This prospective randomized controlled study included 80 patients with anterior and mid-penile hypospadias with a urethral plate <6 mm, conducted at Al-Azhar University Hospitals, Cairo, Egypt, from May 2020 to October 2025. Patients were randomly allocated to SLAM repair (Group A, n=40) or inner transverse preputial onlay island flap (Group B, n=40). Follow-up ranged from 24 to 48 months. Outcomes were assessed using the Hypospadias Objective Scoring Evaluation (HOSE) questionnaire.
