title: [Postoperative analgesia following surgical correction of hypospadias].
abstract: The authors describe the different forms of postoperative pain therapy which can be applied after a surgical repair of hypospadias. Hereby we chose for the caudal analgesia. It is effective, easy to perform and is seldom associated with complications. An overview is given of the technique, the points for attention and the different products which can be injected. Systemic analgesia and penile nerve blockade are often less effective and should only be applied in case caudal analgesia can not be administered.
