Hypospadias Surgery in Gopalganj for Baby Boys

We commonly perform surgery between 6 and 18 months of age. At this age anaesthesia is safe, the tissues heal well, and the child does not remember the operation or feel embarrassed later. Staged repairs are usually started in this period, with the second stage some months later. If your son is older, the repair can still be done, so please bring him to our surgeon without delay.

The foreskin is valuable tissue for the repair. Our surgeon often uses it to build the new urine tube or to cover the repair. If the child is circumcised first, this tissue is lost and the operation becomes more difficult. If you notice that the urine opening is not at the tip, or the foreskin looks like a hood, please get the child checked by our surgeon before any circumcision.

Many boys with milder hypospadias need only one operation. More severe types are often repaired in two planned stages, several months apart. Sometimes a complication, such as a small leak hole (fistula) or a narrowing, needs a further operation, usually after about 6 months when the tissues have settled. Our surgeon explains the likely plan for your son before surgery.

After a successful repair, most boys pass urine in a straight stream while standing, and the repair is designed to allow normal sexual function in adult life. Fertility is usually not affected by hypospadias alone. Regular follow-up, including around puberty, helps find any problem, such as a narrowing or a bend, early so that it can be corrected.

Coverage depends on the specialities a hospital is empanelled for and the package your child's procedure falls under. As of mid-2025, our empanelment covered general and laparoscopic surgery packages, while urology packages were not included. Hypospadias repair may fall under a general or paediatric surgery package, so please ask our Ayushman help desk to check before admission. For patients who are not covered, we explain the costs clearly before admission.

Under general anaesthesia, with a local block for pain, our surgeon first straightens any bend in the penis. Then a new urine tube is made, often from nearby skin or foreskin, so that the opening comes to the tip. The repair is covered with healthy tissue and the skin is closed with fine dissolving stitches. A thin catheter and a dressing are kept for some days while it heals.

The operation usually takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the type. Most children stay 1 to 3 days. Some go home with the catheter, which is removed at a follow-up visit after several days. Severe types are often repaired in two stages several months apart. Our surgeon explains the likely plan and the time needed before surgery, so that you can plan your visits.

Swelling and bruising of the penis are normal and settle over a few weeks. We usually remove the catheter after several days at a follow-up visit. Most children are back to normal play within 1 to 2 weeks, but riding toys and rough play should wait a few weeks. Full healing can take about 6 weeks. Follow-up visits, including around puberty, check the stream and the shape.

No. Hypospadias is a difference in how the penis formed before birth, and it does not correct itself with age, creams or medicines. Very mild forms with a straight penis and a good stream may sometimes be left alone after discussion with our surgeon. Most boys benefit from repair, so that they can pass urine standing in a straight stream and have normal function as adults.

It depends on the type and severity, one or two stages, the anaesthesia, the hospital stay, the catheter and dressings, medicines, the room type and follow-up visits. A later small operation for a leak or a narrowing may add to it. We do not quote a fixed price without examining your son. We give you a clear estimate before admission. Ayushman card holders are welcome to ask our help desk about coverage.

Yes. Families from Motihari, Bettiah, Siwan, Chhapra, Kushinagar and Deoria come to us. Please call or WhatsApp us on +91 72739 94786 to plan an OPD visit. Our surgeon examines your son, explains the type of hypospadias and the plan, and tells you honestly whether he can be treated here or needs a specialist centre. Please do not get him circumcised before this visit.

Parents often ask us this. Families across the region trust Dr. Rajnish Kumar Thakur (MS General Surgery), our founder and chief surgeon. He has 16+ years of surgical experience and more than 10,000 surgeries performed, with experience at IGIMS Patna and Lady Hardinge Medical College, New Delhi, and paediatric surgery is part of his practice here. He explains the type and the plan clearly. For severe or complex types, he may advise a specialist paediatric centre. You can read our patients' reviews on our reviews page.
