Abstract

Hypospadias is a disorder of male external genital development in which the urethral orifice is located on the ventral surface of the penis rather than at the tip of the glans. It is thought to result from incomplete fusion of the labioscrotal folds during morphogenesis of the external genitalia of the male embryo between 8 and 12 weeks of gestation. It is among the most common of male genital abnormalities, occurring in 0.1%–0.8% of live male births (1).
