title: [The surgical treatment of anterior hypospadias. Apropos 590 cases (1966-1988). The indications and results. The current trends in surgical treatment].
abstract: The surgical treatment of hypospadias is very complex. The objective is to obtain a satisfactory urinary and genital function with an equal morphological, anatomical and aesthetic result. Our contribution covers twenty-two years of surgical multicentre experience (590 cases). We evaluate the surgical indication, results, complications, associated malformations and study protocols. We have objectively evaluated the evolution of the indications, as well as the application of different techniques depending on the extent of urethral malformation.
