Principles of Hypospadias Surgery

  • Chapter
Hypospadias Surgery

Abstract

The majority of hypospadias surgery is performed in children. The ideal age is from 3 to 9 months (Duckett and Baskin 1996). Although a normal penis grows only about 0.8 cm between the ages of 1 and 3 years (Schonfeld and Beebe 1942), hypospadias surgeons should use magnification and fine plastic surgery instruments. Just as the best golf clubs do not make a professional out of a duffer, however, neither does specialised equipment ensure good operative results.
