Each limb is 3 to 5\u00a0mm long. A wedge of the narrow meatus underneath the flap is excised, creating a wide meatus. The tip of the inverted V is advanced distally and sutured to the angle inside the wide new meatus. The aim is to interrupt the ring suture line by introducing the V skin flap into the ring. This minimizes the chances of further ring contraction. The technique was used in 57 patients with symptomatic postoperative meatal stenosis from 2017 to 2024. The median age was 53\u00a0months (range, 17\u00a0months\u201344\u00a0years). Median follow-up was 4\u00a0years (range, 3\u00a0months\u20138\u00a0years).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Outcomes<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Y-V technique helped to relieve the obstructive symptoms in the majority of patients (55 patients).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fifty-two patients recovered well without further symptoms or problems. Three children complained of mild dysuria after surgery that disappeared within a month after surgery without additional intervention.
