Abstract

The two-stage graft urethroplasty has become the standard technique in many centers for perineal hypospadias and proximal hypospadias with severe chordee. The technique was first described by Cloutier in 1962 and popularized by Bracka in 1995. When the prepuce is not available in redo hypospadias, buccal or labial mucosa are used. Operative technique, postoperative care, tips and tricks, and complications are mentioned in detail.
