Hipospadia
Definisi
Hypospadias is a congenital disorder of the urethra where the urinary opening is not at the usual
location on the head of the penis. It is the second-most common birth abnormality of the male
reproductive system, affecting about one of every 250 males at birth.[3] In roughly 90% of cases, the
opening (meatus) is on or near the head of the penis (glans), referred to as distal hypospadias, while the
remainder have proximal hypospadias with a meatus near or within the scrotum. Shiny tissue seen
extending from the meatus to the tip of the glans, which would have made the urinary channel, is
referred to as the urethral plate.
Hipospadia adalah suatu kelainan kongenital pada uretra, dimana posisi muara urin tidak pada lokasi

reproduksi laki-laki, dengan angka kejadian sebanyak satu dari 250 kelahiran bayi laki-laki[1]. Pada
setidaknya 90% kasus, meatus berada pada atau dekat dari glans, disebut hipospadia distal, sementara
sisanya hipospadia proximal dengan meatus dekat atau sekitar scrotum
