Abstract：Objective:To present the experience in using the Snodgrass technique,Duekett repair and bladder mucoaa grafting for hy-pospadias. Methods:We retrospectively reviewed 251 cases of middle and posterior hypospadias treated by the Snodgrass technique,Duckett repair and bladder mucosa grafting from February 1997 to December 2008. Results:The Success rates of the Snodgrass tech-nique,Duckett repair and bladder mucosa grafting were 80.3%(53/66),76%(19/25)and 78.9%(15/19)for middle hypospadi-as and 68.3%(41/60),63.6%(14/22)and 88.1%(52/59)for the posterior type without statistical significant differences(all P >0.05).Bladder mucosa grafting showed a significantly higher success rate than the other two procedures in either one-stage or two-stage surgical repair of posterior hypospadias(P<0.05).Duckett repair achieved a significantly higher rate of success in children under 14 years than in the older ones(P<0.05). Conclusion:Of the three sargical options,bladder milcosa grafting is the most suitable for posterior hypnspadias,and Duckett repair is recommended for children under 14 years of age.
