Introduction: We reviewed our 9-year experience on 97 men with distal hypospadias who had undergone hypospadias surgeries. Subjects and Methods: Patients were divided into two groups: group 1 included 17 men who had one or more unsuccessful surgeries in their childhood, and group 2 included 80 men with no previous hypospadias repairs. Meatal positions were glanular in 6, coronal in 35 and subcoronal in 56 patients. Our 97 hypospadias surgeries involved 42 meatal advancement and glanuloplasty, 41 Mathieu and 14 tubularized incised plate urethroplasty procedures. Results: The overall success rate was 88% (86 of the 97 patients). The success rate was 76.5% for group 1 (13 of the 17 patients) and 91.3% for group 2 (73 of the 80 patients). Better voiding function and good cosmetic appearance was achieved in all patients. Urinary flow rates were significantly higher in all groups postoperatively. The success rates were 91.4 and 85% for the patients with preoperative coronal and subcoronal meatal positions, respectively. The success rate was significantly lower in crippled cases and in cases with longer neourethra. Conclusion: Although the same techniques are used for children and adults in hypospadias surgery, the results in adults differ from those in children. The success rate for primary adult cases is quite acceptable, but it is decreased in patients having longer neourethra and having multiple previous interventions.
