Urethrocutaneous fistula (UCF) is a common complication after hypospadias repair with an incidence of 5–10%. Several techniques are described for its repair: small UCFs are frequently corrected by isolation, excision, and closure with apposition of a protective second layer. In 2008 Malone described the PATIO technique: the fistula tract is turned inside out in the urethral lumen preventing contact
