1. International Workshop of Hypospadias-Surgery 2006

Dear Colleagues,
On April 6 and 7 we held the First International Workshop on Hypospadias Surgery in Vienna. 46 participants from all over Europe were welcomed. With participation of Prof. Ahmed Hadidi from Cairo/Egypt and Heidelberg/Germany as guest surgeon and guest lecturer the workshop was highly successful. During two days a great spectrum of hypospadias surgery was covered. Prof. Hadidi held state of the art lectures with eloquence and knowledge.
There were operation of distal hypospadias using the modified Mathieu-Y-V-plasty, using Mustarde-Urethroplasty and the new inverted-Y-Plasty (Hadidi).
There was correction of urethral stenosis and fistula after multiple operations.
There was correction of complicated hypospadia (more than 30) including scar reduction, freeing of the corpora cavernosa, excision of urethral fistulae and excessive urethral tissue and prearrangement for a second step of urethral reconstruction.
Moreover, we had a wonderful dinner at the Kunsthistorisches Museum and a wonderful night in the art gallery.
