Acknowledging the fact that hypospadiology has become a true subspecialty, this unique book highlights  and explores current philosophy and different principles and techniques of hypospadias repair. It offers an excellent practical guide to all surgeons involved in the management of this common, but troublesome disease. The aim is to help interested surgeons to develop  vision, philosophy and talent rather than just enumerate techniques. It is well illustrated with ample colour diagrams and photographs of various operations together with many technical tips. All surgeons in training will benefit by reading this book in preparing for their higher examinations and their surgical training. There is a wide diversity of opinions, and a large number of operations have been described. Here, the team of world class authors present an expert overview on the management of this condition.
