Abstract

Several factors influence the outcome of hypospadias surgery. Accurate preoperative assessment of the ventral penis and the degree of hypoplasia is essential to choose the suitable technique for each individual patient. Magnification, fine instruments, and suture material are important parameters. Tissue handling and inverting subcuticular sutures play important roles. Silicone catheters and stents and appropriate dressing may reduce the incidence of complications.
