Understanding telomerase in cancer stem cell biology.

Tubularized incised plate urethroplasty was performed to repair 20 distal and 5 mid-penile hypospadias cases. In distal hypospadias repair meatal stenosis occurred in 1 patient and urethral fistula in another. The overall complication rate in this group was thus 10%. Among midpenile hypospadias cases meatal stenosis was observed in 1 (20%) patient. As a conclusion, tubularized incised plate urethroplasty was found to be a successful method for treating distal hypospadias and encouraging results were obtained in mid-penile hypospadias cases.
