title: Current trends in the treatment of hypospadias.
abstract: The surgical treatment of hypospadias continues to inspire urologists to develop new techniques. Views on the physiopathology of hypospadias have changed a great deal over the last ten years. Treatment techniques have also changed over the last ten years. An analysis of current trends in the treatment of hypospadias therefore appears justified.
