Occult hypospadias can occur in boys with a complete foreskin, challenging typical assumptions. Physicians should fully retract the foreskin during circumcision to detect this condition.

Area of Science:

Pediatric Urology
Neonatal Surgery

Background:

Hypospadias is a congenital condition affecting the urethral opening.
It is often associated with a dorsal hooded prepuce due to incomplete ventral phallic development.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the occurrence of hypospadias in neonates with a complete prepuce.
To highlight the importance of full foreskin retraction during newborn circumcision for detecting occult hypospadias.

Main Methods:

Retrospective review of nine cases.
Examination of urethral meatus position in neonates with hypospadias and complete foreskin development.

Main Results:

Nine boys presented with hypospadias despite having a complete prepuce.

Related Experiment Videos

The urethral meatus was located in subcoronal (6), distal shaft (1), and coronal (2) positions.

This finding contradicts the notion that hypospadias always presents with a hooded prepuce.

Conclusions:

Hypospadias can be present even with complete preputial development.
Physicians performing circumcisions must fully retract the foreskin to identify occult hypospadias.
Parents of affected newborns should be informed about potential foreskin tissue use for hypospadias repair prior to circumcision.
