Dorsal penile urethroplasty (broadbent)

Hypospasal refers to the fact that men's urethral openings do not open at the forefront of the penis, but are located below the glans, ventral side of the penis, root of the penis, or perineum. Often accompanied by penile curvature and testicular insufficiency (cryptorchidism), some boys have to urinate in squatting position, and it is more difficult to distinguish between men and women, causing great pain to the family. Hypospadias are not uncommon, with about one in every 300 boys. Except for those who do not need surgical treatment if the opening is under the glans, the rest, if not corrected, can affect penile development or cause infertility.
