title: [What is new about hypospadias?].
abstract: Hypospadias surgery has considerably evolved during the last 15 years, thanks to a new anatomical approach of ventral penile anomalies and new techniques of repair. The description of the hypoplasia of the tissues forming the ventral aspect of the penis beyond the division of the corpus spongiosum and the concept of urethral plate are the two key-elements to select the most appropriate technique of reconstruction. These modern concepts and the various surgical techniques used in 2008 are reported here with their results.
