Fulltext PDFHypospadias is one of the most common congenital malformations occurring in male fetuses. For surgeons, hypospadias is only a clinical manifestation and mostly diagnosed just by its clinical manifestation. Before surgery, all patients received a detailed clinical evaluation including measurement of type of hypospadias, the size of the penis, glans cleft, and type of chordee, penile torsion, urethral plate width, prepuce and associated anomalies. Each patient received a clinical diagnosis for hypospadias. Hypospadias repairs were performed on 53 patients aged 2 to 32 years from 2010 to 2014, including 47 primary operations and 6 reoperations. Hypospadias is mostly a clinical manifestation for surgeons. In the management of hypospadias preoperative assessment is of prime importance, but the assessment usually includes factors only related to the operation such as location and size of the meatus, the size of the phallus, urethral plate width, and type of chordee. It is no doubt that all these factors would affect the outcome of surgery.
