- Abstract
This letter, published in the journal Pediatric Radiology, responds to a previous letter discussing the use of urinary tract ultrasound scans in patients with hypospadias. The author presents a counter perspective, arguing that while the incidence of additional urinary tract anomalies in hypospadias patients may be low, it is important to consider the potential severity and impact of these anomalies on long-term health outcomes. The author suggests a risk-stratified approach to screening, focusing on high-risk subgroups within the hypospadias patient population. The letter emphasizes the need for open dialogue and exploration of alternative viewpoints to improve the management of hypospadias patients.
