COMPARISON OF SNODGRASS VERSUS SNODGRAFT TECHNIQUES FOR DISTAL PENILE HYPOSPADIAS REPAIR - A PROSPECTIVE STUDY

Hypospadias is a development abnormality of anterior urethra and penis in which urethral opening is located in the ventral of penis proximal to the tip of glans penis, any where up to perineum.[1] The penis is more likely to have associated ventral shortening and curvature, called chordee and an abnormal distribution of Foreskin with a hood present dorsally and deficient foreskin ventrally.[2] This abnormally is present in approximately 1 in 300 live birth male new borns and may be an isolated anomaly or a phenotypical component of a complex state known as intersex.[3]
