RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVES</b>To study the occurrence of different anomalies associated with hypospadias and to instruct relevant treatment in clinical practice.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Three hundred and forty-one cases of hypospadias were investigated, all treated respectively corresponding to their specific anomalies.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The morbidity of associated anomalies in cases of hypospadias was as high as 21.1%. Most of the anomaly cases were undescended testes and inguinal hernia, and the incidence of associated anomalies was related to the degree of hypospadias.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Hypospadias is not just a local dysmorphic problem but rather a local manifestation of a systemic disease. It is necessary to take those associated anomalies as a systemic whole and attach enough importance to their clinical treatment.</p>
