Abstract
There is a close relationship between emotional effect of hypospadias surgery and age at repair. Possibility of depression and anxiety, which were dominating emotional symptoms among boys operated on for hypospadias, was found not to be high after the recommended age. It is concluded that, as hypospadias surgery creates a circumcised penis, the degree of emotional trauma is lower in Turkish boys than in other nationalities.
