Hypospadias articles from across Nature Portfolio

Catstagnetti and El-Ghoneimi provide an overview of the classification, assessment and management of penile curvature associated with proximal hypospadias in children. Methods of curvature measurement and surgical techniques are detailed, in addition to discussion of the importance of patient-reported outcomes.

A low urinary flow rate without clinical symptoms is frequently observed in boys after surgical correction of hypospadias. Whether this reduced flow rate is relevant and needs further correction is an ongoing debate, as long-term follow-up data are lacking.
