Hypospadias Surgery

Depending on the type of hypospadias, surgery is often carried out with the aims of: closing the penis opening (urethral meatus) in its current position and bringing it to the head of the penis; straightening the penis; and/or making the head of the penis more conical in shape. Many of these surgical procedures require the use of the foreskin, so the penis gains a circumcised appearance during the surgery.
