Abstract
Hypospadias is a common problem affecting approximately one boy in 300; it is usually corrected in the first few years of life. While early outcome data is widely available, little has been reported on the long-term problems that these men suffer. Data suggest that the majority of men have no lasting effects, but up to 40% with severe hypospadias can have some degree of voiding problems. In addition, sexual problems affecting erection, ejaculation and sexual sensation have now been reported in more than 20% of men, although these studies are few and contain only a small number of patients. This limited available data support the need for further long-term studies especially focusing on the more modern techniques.
