Hypospadias

 

In this condition, the patient passes urine from a hole, which is situated on the penile shaft, rather than on the tip of the penis. In the more severe cases, the penis may also be bent (chordee).

 

Surgery

Hypospadias surgery can be done in 1 or 2 stages, between the ages of 9 months to 2 years.
