Abstract
The anatomic classification of hypospadias recognizes the level of the meatus without taking into account curvature. In Smith’s classification, the first degree locates the meatus from the corona to the distal shaft, the second degree from the distal shaft to the peno scrotal junction, and the third degree is from the penoscrotal junction to the perineum(Smith 1938). Schaefer and Erbes (1950) classified the location as glanular from the subcorona out, penile from the co rona to the penoscrotal junction, and perineal from there down. The system of Browne (1936) was more specific, with subcoronal, penile, midshaft, penoscro tal, scrotal and perineal varieties. Duckett (1966) clas sified hypospadias according to meatal location after release of curvature into anterior, middle and posteri or hypospadias.
