Description

Chandrasekharam and Janapareddy describe in twenty twenty-four a surgical method for redoing a failed repair of a birth defect where the urine channel opens in the wrong place. Redo surgery is hard because scarred tissue must be cut away and prepuce skin is often gone. Methods that work for mild first repairs often fail for cases nearer the body.

Their method keeps a central strip of the channel plate and builds a flap from side skin with its soft underlayer intact. The flap is flipped over a small tube and stitched to form the new channel. Its underlayer then covers the stitch lines to block leaks. Photos show the steps and the result three months later.
