  • Chapter
Hypospadias Surgery

Abstract

There is no surgery without complications. Barry O’Donell of Dublin famously commented: “Three statements I never believed in my life: of course I love you, darling, the cheque is in the mail and I never had a complication or a fistula after hypospadias repair”. A fistula is defined as a tract connecting two epithelial surfaces, and a sinus is a tract leading to an epithelial surface. Urethrocutaneous fistula is the most common complication in hypospadias surgery.
