Hypospadias is one of the more frequently observed congenital malformations in the worldwide urologic pediatric practice and one of the reasons for repeated visits in this territory. In this respect a descriptive, observational and retrospective study was carried out in 108 children with diagnosis of hypospadias, who were attended in the Service of Urology of the Southern Children Hospital of Santiago de Cuba, from January, 2000 to December, 2006. The analysis revealed prevalence of patients aged between 1 and 4 years and of the Snodgrass's surgical technique for the urethroplasty. The general clinical course was satisfactory in 52,8% of the series patients, and the remainder required new interventions.
