Data are expressed as mean ± SD. The penile length and circumference were measured in centimetres. There was a significant difference between distal and proximal types of hypospadias in erectile function, average penile length and circumference under both erect and flaccid conditions. Patients who underwent different numbers of operations and surgical procedures did not show any significant difference in sexual function.
