Abstract
With an incidence of 1:300, hypospadia is one of the most common genital anomalies in male newborns.Hypospa-dia is defined as an anomaly (hypo- or dysplasia) involving the ventral aspect of the penis. These malformations mainly comprise of an abnormal ventral opening of the urethral meatus, an abnormal ventral curvature of the penis (chordee)and/or an abnormal distribution of the foreskin. The extent of the malformation varies (Djakovic et al,2008).
The only treatment of hypospadias is surgical repair of the anatomical defectThe fact that more than 300 different operations are described in the literature is a testament that treatment has not been perfected or standardized (baskin et al,2006).
Successful initial repair can be performed in the majority of patients. However, this leaves a small number
of patients with poor surgical outcomes (baskin et al,2006).
