General Principles

Abstract

Although hypospadias is a very common anomaly, most parents are unaware of it until they have a son or relative with hypospadias. The first consultation is very important to orientate the parents with hypospadias, its different grades, chordee, possible risks, ideal time of surgery, and possible complications. Examination should identify the grade of hypospadias and chordee and exclude associated anomalies and disorders of sexual development.
