[Experiences in the treatment of hypospadias at the University Hospital Center in Treichville (Abidjan)].

From 1984 to 1994, 105 children with hypospadias were seen. Only 52 of them were treated. Hypospadias was distal (glandular subglandular or subcoronal hypospadias) in 38.4% of cases and involved the penile distal shaft or penile midshaft in 38.4% and posterior hypospadias in 23% of cases. Meatotomy with circumcision was performed in 70% of cases of distal hypospadias. The best results were obtained with distal penile shaft hypospadias by Mathieu's method. The fistula rate was high (17.3%). 2-or-3-stage treatment of posterior hypospadias is now performed in one stage using Duckett's or Duplay's method. The results of these methods are discussed.
