Hypospadias is a condition affecting the penis. Sometimes when boys are born, the opening of the penis (meatus) is not at the tip. Instead, it is lower on the head of the penis or along the shaft of the penis. It occurs in about one in every three hundred children.* Most hypospadias repairs are day surgery. You will bring your child to the hospital for the day and then go home with them after the surgery is complete. Your child will spend their time healing at home. This handout shows the normal stages of healing that occur after hypospadias repair. It shows how healing can look different in different patients. Your child's healing after hypospadias repair should look like the images shown. If it does then there is no reason for you to bring your child to the emergency department. However, if you are concerned about your child's healing process, please do not hesitate to contact the urology team. * Snodgrass, W.T. (2012) Hypospadias. In L. Kavoussi, A. Novick, A.
