Exploring Hypospadias: Treatment Approaches & Patient Care
Hypospadias can be surgically corrected early in life, but many patients drop out of care before puberty or adulthood, leaving important urinary and sexual health concerns unaddressed. On this episode of BackTable Urology, Dr. Arthi Hannallah and Dr. Nicco Passoni talk with Dr. Vinaya Bhatia about improving lifelong engagement for people with hypospadias. They highlight advances in surgical technique, the role of research, and how digital tools like the WYSH platform help keep patients and families connected to care.
