[Treatment of hypospadias].
Treatment of all forms of hypospadias is difficult. Several abnormal components have to be differentiated and corrected in a very tight space, in addition to which the blood supply must be preserved and infection prevented. Technical progress now allows early correction (around the age of 12 months) in a single procedure, using methods that date back to the last century. Cosmetic results are as important as functional ones. The glans should be reconstructed around the neomeatus, and the penile shaft should be straight. Microsurgical techniques, short transurethral urinary diversion and reliable dressings are important. Strategies, the sequences of surgical procedures and a selection of practical methods are presented and discussed.
