Hypospadias Repair Surgery for Children

Hypospadias is a congenital condition in which the urinary opening (meatus) is not located at the tip of the penis. It may be positioned on the underside and can be associated with curvature (chordee) and abnormal urine stream. Hypospadias Repair is a reconstructive surgery performed to correct the opening position, improve urine flow, and achieve a normal appearance and function.

When is Hypospadias Repair Needed?

Surgery is recommended when the urine opening is not at the tip, urine stream is abnormal, or curvature may affect function later. Early correction helps in better healing and results.

Abnormal Urine Stream

Urine may spray downward or sideways instead of straight.

Opening Not at Tip

Urinary opening is present on the underside of the penis.

Penile Curvature

Curvature (chordee) may be seen especially during erection later.

Functional & Cosmetic

Surgery improves both urinary function and normal appearance.


How Hypospadias Surgery is Performed

Hypospadias repair is done under anesthesia. The goal is to create a new urine passage opening at the tip, correct curvature, and reconstruct tissues for a natural appearance.

Assessment

Step 02

Curvature Correction

If chordee is present, it is corrected to straighten the penis.

Step 03

New Urine Passage

Step 04

Reconstruction

Skin and tissues are reconstructed for normal appearance and healing.
