Comparison of preputioplasty and circumcision in distal hypospadias correction: long-term follow-up

A normal penile cosmesis is an important goal in distal hypospadias repair. Depending on cultural standards, repairs are combined with a preputioplasty or circumcision to attain a ‘normal’ penile appearance. Although short-term complication rates of preputioplasty are available, data on long-term outcomes are scarce. Therefore, this study assessed long-term functional and cosmetic outcomes of distal hypospadias repair with either a preputioplasty or a circumcision.
