| Popis: | We describe 4 patients with significant dilatation of the entire neourethra following transverse preputial island flap urethroplasty. Two patients presented after repair of chordee without hypospadias, which was corrected by interposition with a pedicle graft. The problem arises about 6 months after the repair and is manifested by ballooning of the urethra during urination and post-void dribbling. We have labeled this entity acquired megalourethra and the repair is similar to that for congenital megalourethra. |
