title: Surgical repair of hypospadias in women with symptoms of urethral syndrome.
abstract: A total of 6 cases of female hypospadias is reported. All patients complained of the urethral syndrome, which as a rule started when regular sexual intercourse was begun. All patients had previously been unsuccessfully treated medically during at least 2 years before the correct diagnosis was made and surgical treatment was performed. Urethral meatus transposition was successful in all cases by permanently alleviating the urinary and vaginal discomfort.
