Hypospadias Repair
Hypospadias is a congenital condition in which the opening of the urethra is located on the underside of the penis instead of at the tip. This condition may be associated with penile curvature and abnormal foreskin development. Hypospadias repair is a surgical procedure performed to correct the urethral opening, straighten the penis, and restore normal urinary and reproductive function. Early treatment helps ensure proper growth and development.
