Current trends in the treatment of hypospadias

Acta Urol Belg. 1997 Dec;65(4):17-23.

Abstract

The surgical treatment of hypospadias continues to inspire urologists to develop new techniques. Views on the physiopathology of hypospadias have changed a great deal over the last ten years. Treatment techniques have also changed over the last ten years. An analysis of current trends in the treatment of hypospadias therefore appears justified.
