Abstract

Hypospadias stands as one of the most prevalent congenital abnormalities in male children, impacting approximately 1 in 300 individuals. This condition manifests with the urethral meatus positioned on the ventral surface of the penis, deviating from its usual location, ranging from below the glans tip to the perineum. The classification of hypospadias comprises three types based on meatal position: posterior (proximal), middle, and anterior (distal). In the anterior type, the meatus opens on the distal penile shaft, the corona, or the glans tip. Distal hypospadias represents the most prevalent type, accounting for 50%-70% of cases. Addressing hypospadias poses a challenge to surgeons, with a learning curve associated with various repair techniques. The diversity of surgical options underscores the absence of a universally successful procedure, emphasizing that the initial operation offers the best chance of success.
