    Author: MacGillivray D, Shankar KR, Rickwood AM.
    Journal: BJU Int; 2002 Jan; 89(1):101-2. PubMed ID: 11849172.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness of Glassberg's modification of Duckett's technique in the surgical correction of severe hypospadias. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The case notes of 24 boys who underwent hypospadias repair using this technique were reviewed, noting the severity of the lesion, the method of repair and the clinical outcome. RESULTS: One operation was required in 14 (58%) of patients; complications requiring further surgery occurred in 10 boys (42%). CONCLUSION: This technique allows a single-stage procedure when otherwise a two-stage procedure would be necessary.
