Hypospadias

a congenital underdevelopment of the urethra consisting in the absence of its lower wall, so that the urethra does not open, as usual, in the glans penis, but instead on the underside of the penis, the scrotum, or the perineum.

Hypospadias is the most commonly found anomaly in the development of the organs of the male urogenital system. It is manifested by impairment of urination and, in adults, of sexual functions. In strongly pronounced hypospadias sexual activity is made difficult and sometimes impossible because of deformation of the penis. In extreme cases of scrotal and perineal hypospadias mistakes in determining sex are common. No treatment is required in minor cases of hypospadias; in all other cases, surgery is necessary.

To date, no published study has prospectively examined the efficacy of antibiotics at a prophylactic dose in the acute postoperative setting after single-stage primary repair of mid-to-distal hypospadias. Our study aims to address this question with regard to urine characteristics in the postoperative period as well as clinical outcomes of postoperative complications and symptomatic UTIs.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia secondary to 3-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency

This surgery requires general anesthesia, and there have been a number of studies published recently (i.e., NEJM and Pediatrics) that suggest that this poses serious risks (learning disabilities, etc.) Of course for life-threatening conditions, you would need to operate, but for a non-life-threatening condition (mild hypospadias) I wonder if the pros outweigh the potential cons?
