Objective:
To explore preferences in the management of hypospadias around the world through a web-based survey.
Material and Methods
Web-based survey (Survey Monkey), conducted between July and September 2015
Specific 19-item questionnaire sent through EAU mailing list and posted on YPUClub FBPage)
RESULTS
A total of 178 (8.5%) participants completed the survey.
Four respondents skipped more than one question and were therefore excluded.
 The responses of 174 (8.3%) participants were further analyzed.
2090 (100%) people were reached,
- by EAU mailing invitation (n=840 (40.1%))
- by the YPUclub FBPage (n=1250 (59.8%)),
Conclusion
This is the first study evaluating the worldwide preferences in hypospadias management and follow-up. Wide variations between the surgeons in the post-operative practices were observed. These differences might translate into differences in quality of care in functional, esthetic and psycho-sexual outcome of the operated hypospadias.
