Zusammenfassung:•Megameatus intact Prepuce (MIP) is a rare variant of hypospadias.•The case has never been previously reported in Indonesia.•MIP reconstruction is challenging due to a thin and immobile ventral portion of the urethral meatus tissue.•Tubularized Incised Plate (TIP) urethroplasty is able to fulfil adequate outcomes for a MIP hypospadias variant.•Telemedicine can be utilized for postoperative care in pediatric urology patients. Megameatus intact Prepuce (MIP) is a rare variant of hypospadias characterized by a wide meatus with a normally conformed prepuce, no chordee, and usually no effects in micturition or sexual physiology. However, quality of life and psychosexuality may be affected. A 6-year-old-boy was referred by a general practitioner to the hospital due to an abnormality of the urethral meatus. The patient did not have any complaints. A large external urethral orifice at the ventral area of the coronal glans was discovered. The prepuce was normally-conformed, and there weren’t any signs of chordee. The patient was diagnosed with an MIP hypospadias variant and underwent a tubularized incised plate (TIP) urethroplasty. During the follow-up, one week after the procedure, the patient did not have any complaints. Physical examination showed excellent anatomical and functional outcome based on the cosmetic appearance resembling a normal penis and urinary stream. Awareness regarding this abnormality is necessary as MIP is often not diagnosed until circumcision. Even though MIP patients are usually asymptomatic, surgery should still be considered based on aesthetic and psychosexual reasons. TIP urethroplasty was chosen for this patient based on the clinical findings of this patient. TIP procedure for MIP patients could result in an excellent penile performance and function with a very low complication rate. TIP urethroplasty is able to fulfil satisfactory cosmetic and functional outcomes for the MIP hypospadias variant. Awareness of the disorder should be increased to prevent potential psychosexual disturbances.
