This book incorporates all aspects of hypospadias management, such as step-by-step correction of chordee and modifications in tabularized urethral plate repair, which is the commonest technique used in hypospadias repair, single-stage two-stage repairs of hypospadias with illustrated descriptions. It provides essential information like history, embryology, anatomy, Radiology in hypospadias, and classification of hypospadias. For the first time, this title presents separate chapters about female hypospadias, correction of torsion associated with hypospadias, and chordee without hypospadias. These chapters will improve the understanding of the subject for the reader and help them in modifying their surgical technique for these patients. Hypospadias surgery has a long learning curve, and the book will help the practitioners make them shorter. The book also deals with acute and chronic complications of surgery which will help the reader prevent complications and manage them. This is a complete book covering all aspects of the evaluation & management of hypospadias and their variants. It includes chapters on a healthy interposition and appropriate use of spongiosum and the techniques of spongioplasty, modifications in flap tube repair, along with the various types of prepuce and prepucioplasty. In conclusion, the book will provide a comprehensive read for all trainees/fellows and practitioners of Urology, Pediatric urology, Pediatric Surgery, and Plastic Surgery.

An increased incidence of hypospadias is found globally, and the current management techniques and research studies of hypospadiology face significant challenges and limitations. This book sheds light on the recent struggles encountered in hypospadias-related clinical practice and research methodologies. Various writings were incorporated by people on different disciplines linked to the overall phases of diagnosis and care of hypospadias patients. Special attention is given to new perspectives from different interrelated disciplines trying to overcome these obstacles. This book fills in a void in the new related discoveries traditionally given scant consideration in the currently dominated literature. It provides a useful source for the recent updates, ongoing controversies, and future research trajectories in hypospadiology, which benefits pediatric, plastic, reconstructive, and urology surgeons and trainees and helps examiners focus on updated materials.

Acknowledging the fact that hypospadiology has become a true subspecialty, this unique book highlights and explores current philosophy and different principles and techniques of hypospadias repair. It offers an excellent practical guide to all surgeons involved in the management of this common, but troublesome disease. The aim is to help interested surgeons to develop vision, philosophy and talent rather than just enumerate techniques. It is well illustrated with ample colour diagrams and photographs of various operations together with many technical tips. All surgeons in training will benefit by reading this book in preparing for their higher examinations and their surgical training. There is a wide diversity of opinions, and a large number of operations have been described. Here, the team of world class authors present an expert overview on the management of this condition.

Hypospadiology summarizes the best evidence for preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative assessment and management of hypospadias. It presents modern surgical algorithms for both primary and reoperative repairs, and then describes in detail - with diagrams and color photographs - today's commonly used techniques. Emphasis is given to key technical steps to help surgeons avoid complications. The textbook is designed for both trainees and experienced hypospadias surgeons of all specialties.Among the unique chapters in this hypospadias textbook are Pitfalls in Distal Repair, Flaps versus Grafts, Adult Outcomes after Childhood Repair, Hypospadias Repair in Adults, and Teaching Hypospadias Surgery. The book concludes with a chapter discussing means for surgeons and specialty organizations to improve hypospadias repair. The colorful history of hypospadiology is woven throughout to give readers a greater understanding of how the subspecialty evolved. The authors are internationally recognized experts in hypospadias repair. Proceeds from this textbook will support Operation Happenis, a non-profit devoted to increasing awareness of this common birth condition.

Pediatric Urology: Evidence for Optimal Patient Management provides pediatric urologists the information needed for state-of-the-art patient care. Chapters are organized around pertinent clinical questions within major areas of pediatric urology, answered using the best available data while also reporting areas for which there is poor evidence. The text includes randomized controlled trials and prospective observational studies, tables that summarize important studies, and figures that illustrate algorithms with best options for management and their expected results. With an easy to use format not found in other volumes, Pediatric Urology: Evidence for Optimal Patient Management is an indispensible and unique resource for experienced pediatric urologists, pediatric surgeons, general urologists with an interest in pediatric urology, as well as fellows and residents in training.

Hypospadias Surgery: Science and Art is the first book of its kind published in the subcontinent and, in fact, Asia, that describes several tested and reliable techniques for the repair of different types of hypospadias with reproducible results. Based on the extensive experience and expertise of the author, developed over two decades, and over 1,200 operations, it discusses each technique in detail, along with live operative photographs for the salient steps of each procedure. As the title suggests, the content of the book balances both the science and the art of hypospadias surgery and has been crafted with commendable dedication and passion. It also discusses recent advances in the research into hypospadias causation, as well as the postoperative follow-up and assessment of the results. This book will be an immensely useful resource for postgraduate students and practitioners (pediatric surgeons, pediatric urologists, urologists, and plastic surgeons), and those undertaking MCh training courses in pediatric surgery, urology, and plastic surgery. Key Features: Each chapter and section deal with a particular aspect of hypospadias surgery, lending the reader a comprehensive overview of the topic. Each technique is followed by "Author's Comments" in which the author discusses the finer points of the technique through insights gained from his extensive experience. Detailed descriptions of the techniques utilized in reoperative hypospadias repair have been included in the book. The book focuses on the types of cases found in Asia, Asia-Pacific, and African regions, as the author believes that the type, variety, and severity of hypospadias in the countries located in these areas are different from that of the Western world.
