Assessment of urinary stream after repair of anterior XXXX by meatoplasty and glanuloplasty.

@entity1 @entity850 @entity2650
Voiding function was studied after repair of anterior @entity2650 in 44 @entity1 using Duckett's technique of meatoplasty and glanuloplasty. Assessment of the urinary stream was done in 2 ways. At least 6 weeks postoperatively a uroflow measurement using a DISA rotating disk machine was done. Peak flow was compared to previously prepared normal values in a large group of normal @entity1 . Then, a high speed picture of the stream was taken using electronic video photography at the time of peak flow. Of the @entity1 42 had normal flow rates and 40 had acceptable stream patterns. The only complication was @entity850 in 2 cases. There were no fistulas. Although the primary indication for correction of anterior @entity2650 is cosmetic, it is essential that function not be sacrificed to achieve this end. This study indicates that voiding function is maintained after @entity2650 repair with meatoplasty and glanuloplasty.
