Hypospadias refers to a urethral meatus ("pee-hole") which is located along the underside, rather than at the tip of the penis. The opening may be located on the underside of the penis, in the glans or may even be entirely absent, with the urine exiting the bladder behind the penis.

Hypospadias is  diagnosed by clinical examination only.

Surgery is the only modality available to treat this condition.

The surgery for Hypospadias should be done after around 9 months of age, depending upon size of penis.

Medical management is not successful in this condition.

Read “All you need to know before your child's surgery” information booklet in website.

The surgeon uses the skin on the penis or prepuce  to create a tube so that urethral opening can be made at the tip of the penis. Sometimes staged surgery is needed
