Hypospadias is a common congenital condition where the opening of the urethra is on the underside of the penis rather than at the tip. It is often accompanied by a downward bend of the penis (chordee) and an incomplete, hooded foreskin.
Hypospadias occurs during the 8th to 14th week of pregnancy due to:
Key visual and functional signs include:
The standard repair for distal hypospadias, folding the urethral plate over a catheter to form a new tube.
Surgical straightening of penile curvature by releasing tethered tissue or placing tightening stitches on the opposite side.
Advanced revision surgery utilizing local skin flaps or buccal mucosa (inner cheek) grafts for failed prior repairs.
Under high magnification, the skin is mobilized, and the penis is straightened to ensure a straight axis.
A new urethral tube is constructed using local tissues, protected with a well-vascularized tissue cover.
A small silicone tube (stent) is left in the penis for 7-10 days to allow the new urethra to heal without urine contact.
"We were extremely anxious about our infant's hypospadias surgery. Dr. Sujit performed a TIP urethroplasty, and the cosmetic result is perfect. Highly skilled doctor."
"Our son had a severe curvature (chordee) along with hypospadias. Dr. Sujit's expertise in straightening and reconstruction was exceptional. He is doing great now."
"The post-operative care and double diapering technique explained by Dr. Chowdhary's team made the recovery period very manageable."
"The precision in Dr. Chowdhary's surgery is incredible. His confidence gave us immense peace of mind during a very stressful time."
"We traveled from another city just for Dr. Chowdhary. His approach is very scientific and methodical yet very caring."
Hypospadias repair is a highly delicate surgery requiring precise micro-surgical skills. Using advanced techniques ensures the best functional and cosmetic outcomes with minimal discomfort.
It is a congenital condition where the urinary opening is on the underside of the penis rather than at the tip.
The ideal age for surgery is between 6 months and 18 months, before the child starts potty training.
No, circumcision should not be performed because the foreskin tissue is often needed by the surgeon to reconstruct the urethra.
Chordee is a downward curvature of the penis often associated with hypospadias. It is corrected during the same surgical procedure.
A small, soft catheter is typically left in place for 7 to 10 days to allow the newly reconstructed urethra to heal.
The most common complications are urethrocutaneous fistula (a small leak) and urethral stricture, which can be repaired if they occur.
Yes, successful repair of hypospadias restores a straight penis and normal urinary stream, preserving normal sexual function and fertility.
Advanced single-stage hypospadias reconstruction restores function and appearance. Schedule a consultation today.
