Long-Term Risk of Reoperation After Hypospadias Surgery in Childhood: A Data-Linkage Study
Approximately 40% of children who require hypospadias repair require an additional corrective procedure, usually before their fifth birthday, with a low risk of penile reoperation in the second and third decades of life. The risk is higher after tubularized incised plate repair among repairs for distal hypospadias, multistage repair, and single-stage proximal repair.
