Background: Hypospadias is a common congenital anomaly affecting male infants, with varied presentations and management strategies. This study aims to evaluate the types, surgical interventions, and outcomes of hypospadias repair in a pediatric population. Methods: A prospective analysis was conducted on 50 pediatric patients undergoing hypospadias repair over 18 months. Data on demographics, clinical findings, operative procedures, and postoperative outcomes were collected and analyzed. Results: The cohort predominantly consisted of toddlers (52%), with a majority presenting with distal penile (48%) and proximal penile (46%) forms of hypospadias. The TIP repair was the most common surgical technique employed (40%). The overall complication rate was 32%, with urethrocutaneous fistula (20%) being the most frequent. Parental satisfaction was high (60%), though a proportion reported dissatisfaction or uncertainty regarding the outcomes (40%). Conclusion: Early detection and intervention are crucial in managing hypospadias, with TIP repair being a reliable surgical option. However, the considerable complication rate calls for enhanced surgical precision and postoperative care. Further, effective communication with parents is essential to manage expectations and improve satisfaction.
