Abstract

ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION
The term hypospadias is derived from the Greek words hypo meaning below and spadone meaning hole. Hypospadias in males is associated with three anomalies of the penis: (1) a ventral meatus that may be located anywhere between the glans and the perineum, (2) ventral deviation of the penis (chordee) and (3) the dorsal prepuce hood in association with a ventral deficit of the prepuce. The second and third abnormalities are not necessary for the diagnosis of hypospadias. One particular form is hypospadias without hypospadias, in which the meatus is found in the glans. A further distinctive form is megalomeatus, in which the meatus is found in a coronal position, while the fossa navicularis is open, and the prepuce is intact. The ‘crippled hypospadias’ has been coined for individuals with remaining functional complications after previous hypospadias repair. Men have a very heavy burden of psychological problems related to the complications of failed hypospadias repair.
