Using our hypospadias-specific health-related quality of life conceptual framework and a subsequent qualitative study of prepubertal males and parents of males with hypospadias, we identified potential priorities for long-term follow-up of youth with hypospadias. Using thematic codes from our patient and parent interviews, we searched PubMed for relevant articles and identified the specialties represented by all the authors of these articles.

- Hypospadias is a birth defect affecting 1 in 200 males in the U.S., leading to significant long-term complication rates and impacting psychological, social, and sexual health.
