Background: Hypospadias is a common congenital anomaly in which the anterior urethra is incompletely developed and
does not extend to the tip of the glans penis. The present study was aimed to study the clinical prole of hypospadias.
Settings and Design:This was a prospective, observational study.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted at Department of General Surgery, LLR & Associated Hospitals, GSVM Medical College,
Kanpur, India, from January 2019 to October 2020, on 72 patients of hypospadias, after taking clearance from the Institutional Ethical
Committee, and taking proper informed consent for participation. Data collected for each patient included age, sex, demography, symptoms with
duration, and relevant past and treatment history.
Results: The most common age of presentation was between 1-5years of age (48.61%, n=35). Distal hypospadias (DH) was the most common
site. (47.22%, n=34). 4.16% (n=3) patients presented with urethrocutaneous stula. Chordee was more commonly seen in patients with mid &
proximal penile hypospadias (64.70%, n=33). In the present study, 4.1% (n=3) had associated undescended testis, 4.1% (n=3) had an associated
bid scrotum and 1.3% (n=1) had an associated congenital hernia.
Conclusions: Most cases of hypospadias present before 10 years of age. Distal hypospadias is the most common type. Chordee is associated
most commonly with proximal penile and mid penile hypospadias. It may also be associated with other congenital anomalies like, undescended
testis, bid scrotum or congenital hernias
