Summary:Thirty-four children, ten of them coming from another Surgical Center, underwent repair for urethral fistula after hypospadias reconstructive surgery, over a period of three years (1985-1987). After the first operation, there was no recurrence in 59% (20 cases). Currently, all fistulas have been closed, except in 3 cases. Closure by direct suture was used in 30 cases (88%). The best results were observed with suture in three planes and without diversion, on an outpatient basis (91% of success for 12 cases). The Leveuf method is a safe operation for complex penile fistulas after repeated surgery.
