Cut off the urethra on the basis of releasing and removal of urethral fibrous band. Urethroplasty was taken with pedicled scrotal skin flap. Results All the patients were followed up for 1 to 3 years (the average is 20 months). Six of all the patients that the penile straightening well, penile shortening, urethral stricture and urethrocutaneous fistula didn’t occur. Only one case presented with urethral stricture and cure after taken stage 2 urethroplasty. Conclusions Recessive hypospadia has a very low morbidity.
