Published: February 1990

The authors present the study and results in 100 subjects operated of hypospadia. They interviewed patients within 15 and 22 years old, in randomized selection and in permanent percent relations as far as: different types of pathology, the age of surgery effected in Vicenza Hospital - Pediatric Surgery Department (1971-1981). Through a structured questionnaire they tried to analyse psychological lived in operated subjects as far as: surgery, convalescence, psychologic problems before and after surgery, way of life when they became adults. Results explain that exist some psychologic problems in operated patients (8.5 years old) before surgery and during convalescence, while there is no problem after surgery. Moreover when these subjects became adults their kind of life (school, profession, sexuality) is without psychopathological problems. This is because of positive attitudes pre-acquired, brief convalescence and above all the high and positive quality of surgery effected.
