Hypospadias is one of the most frequent congenital anomalies which follows cardiac and circulatory system anomalies and occurs as a result of midline fusion defect (1). Rate of incidence of this anomaly which has different variations is 20.9 in 10000 live births (2). Its etiology is multifactorial; main factors are advanced age, some chemical agents and drugs, cigarette, heredity (history of father’s urologic disease), low birth weight, prematurity, small gestational age (SGA) and multiple pregnancy (3,4). As well as seemed to be isolated, hypospadias may be accompanied by antenatal hydronephrosis, urinary stones, neurological anomalies, other system anomalies and especially undescended testicle and inguinal hernia (5).
