Hypospadias refers to a urinary opening below the normal position at the tip of the penis. It is the second most common birth abnormality, occurring in approximately 1 in 200 newborns. The cause is not known. Most often the urinary opening is on or near the head of the penis (“distal hypospadias”), but it can be located further down near the scrotum or anus (“proximal hypospadias”).
In some boys, especially those with proximal hypospadias, the penis is bent downwards to such an extent that sexual activity can be impaired as an adult. Nearly all patients with hypospadias have only a partial foreskin that makes the penis look neither natural nor circumcised. Boys with proximal hypospadias may also have a condition called penoscrotal transposition, where the scrotum is located around the penis instead of below it. All of these issues can be corrected.
Surgery is usually recommended to restore cosmesis and function, and the most common operation performed world-wide is the TIP repair.
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) represents the retrograde flow of urine from the bladder to the upper urinary tract.
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is the most common uropathy affecting children. Compared to children without VUR, those with VUR have a higher rate of pyelonephritis and renal scarring following urinary tract infection (UTI). Options for treatment include observation with or without antibiotic prophylaxis and surgical repair. Surgical intervention may be necessary in patients with persistent reflux, renal scarring, and recurrent or breakthrough febrile UTI. Both open and endoscopic approaches to reflux correction are successful and reduce the occurrence of febrile UTI.
