Circumcision and hypospadias

Circumcision should be avoided in boys and men with hypospadias since the foreskin is often used in any repair that may be required. In most infants with hypospadias, the foreskin does not completely surround the head of the penis and is incomplete on the underside of the penis.

In cultures where circumcision is common for religious reasons, a small cut or removal of a tag of foreskin can be done for religious purposes and called a circumcision.
