Megameatus Intact Prepuce in a Two Years Old Boy in Katsina Northwestern Nigeria: A Case Report | Chapter 16 | Issues and Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 2

 Megameatus Intact Prepuce (MIP) is a rare form of glandular hypospadias that affects only around 3% of hypospadias instances. MIP was first defined by Juskiewenski et al in 1983, and the pyramid technique was first disclosed by Duckett and Keating in 1989. Elbatarny et al. published a study in 2011 that included seventeen individuals who had a modified Glanular Approximation Procedure (GAP). Our patient was a 2-year-old kid with a 6cm external urethral meatal orifice, which was successfully treated with a modified glanular approximation approach (GAP). Elbatarny et al. (6) described a modified Glanular Approximation Procedure (GAP) with removal of the excess skin, while Gittes et al. (6) documented using a size 6 French Foleys catheter as a stent. As documented by Zaontz et al. and Gittes et al., we monitored our patient for six months with outstanding results. Megameatus intact prepuce is a social emergency that must be addressed as soon as possible to avoid the potentially devastating psychological consequences.
