      Summary

      Reconstruction of the anterior urethra is often followed by complications whose causes are rarely mentioned in the literature. The first part of this article is devoted to an analysis of these causes, on the basis of which some principles are formulated for the prevention of such complications. The second part concerns the author's experience with the application of these principles to the techniques of treatment in hypospadias, fistulas and strictures of the urethra.
