Specializes in Pediatric Urology

Pediatric Urologist: Or adult urologist with reconstruction expertise. This is a procedure performed by pediatric urologists on adults because they tend to have most experience with this kind of surgery. Hence these patients are usually referred to us by our adult urology colleagues. Always feel free to question a dr's experience with hypospadias surgery. Both you & the dr. Should feel comfortable with this question.

Urologist: Depending upon the specialists available in your area, urologists who are speciality trained in reconstructive surgery do hypospadias repairs in adults. In some cases, a pediatric urologist will perform the repair on adults. Since it is a very delicate surgery, it is imporant to seek out a specialist who has experience with penile reconstruction.
