Hypospadias is a common condition infant boys are born with where the urethra (the opening that carries urine out of the body) opens on the underside of the penis, not at the tip. The goal of hypospadias surgery is to help your child pee, and also to improve the cosmetic appearance of the penis. The surgery usually doesn’t require an overnight stay in the hospital. And most children grow up to have normal urinary and sexual function.
