Many times hair-bearing urethral grafts have been used inadvertently in the treatment of hypospadias.

This can be accompanied with numerous troublesome long-term complications such as formation of stones, diverticula, and hairballs.

We also discuss about their management and the effect of thioglycolic acid instillation to stop hair growth in the urethra mucosa in the second case.
