Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT: Hypospadias is one of the most common and extensively studied pathology of paediatric surgery. Although a plethora of research articles describing hypospadias and its variants exist, new variants are often encountered and they never cease to surprise us. We, in our case, are trying to add a drop to the sea of variants of hypospadias. A 2-year-old boy was brought with an abnormally large and patulous urethral opening at the mid-penile region with intact prepuce and chordee. In this case report, we will review the available literature on this rare variant and discuss its management.
