title: [Hypospadias in the adult: report of 15 cases].
abstract: This paper is based on the analysis of 15 cases of adults between the ages of 17 and 72 years with hypospadias, previously untreated in 2 cases and unsuccessfully treated in the other 13 cases. The author demonstrates the severe sexual, psychological and urinary implications of this malformation when it is not correctly treated during childhood. The difficulties accumulate with age and the problems become more and more difficult to treat, especially as these patients are frequently from poor socioeconomic groups. The conclusion of this study is not original, but once again emphasises the need to correct this malformation as early as possible, at least before puberty and with a minimum of operations (one operation whenever possible).
