Hypospadias Treatment
Infants with hypospadias should not be circumcised. The foreskin should be preserved for use in later surgical repair.
Surgery is usually completed before the child starts school. Today, most urologists recommend repair before 18 months of age. During the surgery, the penis is straightened and the hypospadias is corrected, often using tissue grafts obtained from the intact foreskin. The repair may need to be performed in stages, requiring multiple surgeries.
