Evolution of Hypospadias Surgery: Historical Perspective

  • Chapter
Hypospadias Surgery

Abstract

The term hypospadias is derived from the Greek. “Hypo” means under and “spadon” means a rent or fissure (Duckett and Baskin 1996; Zaontz and Packer 1997). Durham Smith (1997) mentioned the dictum “There is nothing new in surgery not previously described”, and this exactly summarises the efforts which were made in the past for the description, classification, pathology and treatment of hypospadias. Many modern surgeons mention the originality of their ideas, but an investigation of historical papers, documents and books indicates that all current techniques, theoretical and practical knowledge were described centuries ago by various surgeons.
