title: Complications of hypospadias surgery.
abstract: Hypospadias repairs are performed in a unique environment with unique tissue. The potential for edema is tremendous. Given the difficult conditions, there will probably never be an operation for hypospadias that will be uniformly and totally successful. Nevertheless, the authors provide a categorization of complications and some useful guidelines for management.
