Hypospadias

The operative management of hypospadias is undertaken by specialist surgeons. Results for distal hypospadias are excellent and few patients have long-term complications from surgery. Proximal hypospadias, particularly in association with other syndromes or disorders of sexual development have poorer long-term outcomes. There is no perfect operation for the correction of hypospadias, and long-term data outlining the advantages and disadvantages of different techniques is lacking in the literature.
