Introduction: Hypospadias, the most common congenital genital anomaly, is defined as the abnormal ventral opening of the urethral meatus extent from the proximal tip of the glans penis, penis rod, scrotum until perineum. The incidence of Hypospadias continued to increase from time to time. Urethroplasty and orthoplasty is the only possible treatment for Hypospadias until this time. Surgical reconstruction cannot always be done in one step, many cases need more than one reconstruction even though an experienced surgeon did it. This study aims to describe patients’ characteristics in Arifin Achmad General Hospital.

Results: From 28 patients with hypospadias, it could be concluded that the highest number of hypospadias patients found in the 0-5 years age group (50%) with the most common type was penoscrotal as many as 12 cases (43%). One stage procedure was predominant and attributed to 75% more than multistage procedure (25%). Chordectomy procedure got hospitalized for 3 days and multi procedure (cordectomy + urethroplasty + scrotoplasty) got hospitalized for 7 days. Fistula urethrocutaneous majority found in shaft penile type as a complication after surgery (78%) and had cutaneous fistula closure as an advanced treatment for the complication. From the 28 cases, 23 cases were successful without complication (82%) and 5 cases had fistula as a complication after surgery (18%).
