Urinary tract anomalies in children with hypospadias.

摘要

We read with great interest the article of Gupta et al. [1] reporting their experience with routine ultrasonography (US) screening in children with hypospadias. This is an extremely welcomed study. Studies screening children with hypospadias in a prospective manner with uroradiological exams are scarce, the last one was published 20 years ago [2]! Gupta et al. screened 65 children with hypospadias for congenital anomalies of their upper or lower urinary tract. They found that 18% of their patients had abnormal US findings, and therefore favor US screening in children with hypospadias. At this point, we would like to make the following comments.
