Summary

Accurate assessment of urethral and penile malformations guides hypospadias surgery. Early correction, ideally within the first year of life, is recommended due to potential psychologic impacts.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Urology
  • Genitourinary Surgery
  • Developmental Biology

Context:

  • Hypospadias requires careful evaluation of urethral and penile structures.
  • Key assessment points include meatal location/size, chordee, and distal urethral characteristics.

Purpose:

  • To outline the essential diagnostic criteria for selecting optimal surgical interventions in hypospadias.
  • To detail preferred surgical techniques based on hypospadias classification (distal vs. proximal).

Summary:

  • Distal hypospadias (glandular, coronal) are best treated with meatal advancement and glanduloplasty.
  • Proximal hypospadias with chordee can be addressed with Duckett's transverse preputial island flap technique in a single stage.

Impact:

  • Early surgical correction, preferably within the first year of life, is advised to mitigate potential psychologic effects of genital malformations.
