Experience with single stage XXXX reconstruction.

@entity1 @entity292 @entity2650
Our experience with single stage @entity2650 repair in 96 @entity1 over a 12-month period is reviewed. The ages ranged from 7 months to 14 years with an average of 3.5 years. Seventeen @entity1 were 18 months or younger at the time of operation. Meatal advancement and glanuloplasty (MAGPI) was performed in 46 @entity1 mainly with coronal and @entity2650 . There was a @entity292 rate of 4%. The modified Mathieu and Mustarde operations were used for subcoronal and @entity2650 . The transverse preputial island flap technique was found to be very versatile and was employed in 33 @entity1 . The @entity292 rate was 18% and proximal urethral stricture rate 9%. These complication rates are considered quite acceptable in busy centers where surgeons in training are involved in these operations. It is concluded that by mastering a relatively limited number of techniques, single stage @entity2650 reconstruction can be undertaken in almost all cases at the optimal time.
