Current hypospadias management: Diagnosis, surgical management, and long-term patient-centred outcomes

Melise A Keays et al. Can Urol Assoc J. 2017 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

In this article, we present the current approach to hypospadias, a review of the classification, preoperative evaluation, and factors that enable decision-making during surgery. We will then discuss patient-reported outcomes, evaluating the patients' and parents' perspectives regarding hypospadias repair.
