Hypospadias can be a real burden on the resources of health care because it is the second most common congenital anomaly in the newborn males after undescended testis [Hypospadias repair aims at correcting both cosmetic and functional abnormalities [Patients with proximal and complex hypospadias are those who have the worst cosmetic outcome where more than 50% are not satisfied with the penis appearance, while generally more than 70% of all patients undergoing hypospadias repair are satisfied with the cosmetic outcome [There is no standardized techniques for hypospadias repair in the literature, in addition there are no uniform definitions of complications and outcome assessment [Observation and examination plays an essential role for evaluation of the outcome after hypospadias repair, also assessment of functional outcome after repair may be done by uroflowmetry and post voiding residual urine, while for psychosexual evaluation there is not standardized questionnaires available after hypospadias repair [Excessive abnormal postoperative penile edema is one of the most common causes of cosmetic and functional complications as it may cause tension and disruption of the suture lines that delay the wound healing. Local steroids were used as anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous drugs in many fields in medicine.We studied the effect of local injection of long acting corticosteroid after surgical repair of hypospadias on the postoperative outcome and complication rate.
