The study was conducted to evaluate the long-term follow-up micturition data, sexual function and cosmetic results of hypospadias surgical repair. 14 males (mean age 19.6 yrs) submitted to hypospadias surgical repair with the pedicled preputial tubulized flap technique 10 years ago were evaluated. The most frequent site of the anomaly was the distal third of penis (85.6%). The micturition data were excellent and urinary flow rates were normal in 92.8%. Erection and ejaculation were normal in all patients. Penile curvature persisted in 14.2%; 64.2% of the patients had sexual intercourse (completely satisfactory in 66.6%), penis size was normal in 78.6% and 66.6% of the patients were married and had children. No longterm follow-up complications were observed. The technique achieved excellent cosmetic and functional results.
