Used standardized questionnaires to compare psychosocial functioning of 116 children and adolescents (9 to 18 years) and 73 adults (18 to 38 years) operated on for hypospadias, a congenital penile anomaly, with that of 88 and 50 age-matched comparison males, respectively, treated for an inguinal hernia. The relationships of coping with penile appearance, subject age, severity of hypospadias, number of operations, age at final surgery, and type of surgical procedure with psychosocial functioning were also investigated. Hypospadias patients did not exhibit a poorer psychosocial functioning and no significant relationships of various medical characteristics with psychosocial functioning could be discerned. Genital/body perception of hypospadias patients ages 9 to 18 years correlated positively with psychosocial functioning, albeit with low values. These findings are important for psychologists and specialists in the counseling process of hypospadias patients and their parents.
使用标准化问卷，比较了116名接受尿道下裂（一种先天性阴茎畸形）手术的儿童和青少年（9至18岁）以及73名成人（18至38岁）与分别接受腹股沟疝治疗的88名和50名年龄匹配的对照男性的心理社会功能。还研究了应对阴茎外观、受试者年龄、尿道下裂严重程度、手术次数、最终手术年龄以及手术程序类型与心理社会功能之间的关系。尿道下裂患者并未表现出较差的心理社会功能，且未发现各种医学特征与心理社会功能之间存在显著关系。9至18岁尿道下裂患者的生殖器/身体感知与心理社会功能呈正相关，尽管数值较低。这些发现对心理学家和专家在尿道下裂患者及其父母的咨询过程中具有重要意义。
