  Author(s): Ramaswamy Rajendran*
  
  A comprehensive research-report on the anatomy of hitherto designated Megameatus with Intact Prepuce (MIP) was recently published in early 2024. “Hypospadias with Intact Prepuce (HIP)” as the umbrella-term to contain cases with megameatus and all other cases of hypospadias with entire prepuce was proposed along with their current surgical techniques. The incidence of MIP is 3% to 6% among hypospadias. Presence of median raphe anomalies or long redundant prepuce may be pointer to the occult MIP. Cases may present post-circumcision in which case, iatrogenic hypospadias should be clinically excluded. Unlike popular belief, MIP can be associated with dorsal or ventral chordee. Glans-penis may have wide, spatulated or conical shape. MIP usually is distal hypospadias, but rarely midshaft hypospadias too. There is wide variation in the size of External Urethral Meatus (EUM) from .. View More»
