AB  - Few studies of long-term outcome of hypospadias treatment in terms of voiding, 
      surgical complications, sexual functioning, intimate relationships and cosmetic 
      results have been investigated and contrasting results have been obtained so far. 
      The aim of our study is to investigate the long-term outcome of urinary and 
      sexual function, cosmesis and the quality of intimate relationships in a series 
      of hypospadias. In this study, 42 patients who underwent surgery for hypospadias 
      were prospectively followed for 15 years. Medical records provided the 
      hypospadias data, the number of reconstructive operations and the reconstruction 
      technique that was used. Patients underwent physical examination, including 
      penile length measurement and completed International Prostatic Symptoms Score 
      (I-PSS), International Index Of Erectile Function (IIEF 15) and the Penile 
      Perception Score questionnaire (PPPS). Twenty patients agreed to participate in 
      the study. At the enrolment, the median value of HOSE was 13, as regards PPPS, 
      18/20 (90%) were satisfied, while in 1998 only 80% were satisfied. No significant 
      statistical difference has been reported from the results obtained at enrolment 
      and those obtained at follow-up, in terms of PPPS (P = 0.81), IPSS and IIEF-15. 
      Penile length was 6.5 cm flaccid and 10.5 cm stretched. Our data show how 
      cosmesis, function and psychosexual development for these patients are highly 
      connected to surgical outcome, which is understood to be a decrease in penile 
      size.
