For the penile length —how shall we choose the straightening procedures in hypospadias repair?

ConclusionFor hypospadias, the 30 ° after degloving may serve as the cut-off for the selection of the straightening method from the perspective of the penile length. For those with <  30°, methods such as DP or UP transection can either be selected. In patients with >  30°, DP should be used with caution because of the potential risk to shorten the penis. In contrast, UP transection effectively corrects the penile curvature and increases the penile length concurrently, which should be primarily recommended in those patients.
