under the proper titles. Hypospadias results from a deficiency in the floor of the urethra. Theopening may be in the glans, or in the penile or scrotal portions. The firstform is the most frequent and the least important. The scrotal, with andwithout perineal involvement, is the next in point of frequency, and themost important of all. They may be designated, therefore, as balanic,penile, and scrotal hypospadias respectively. Mixed varieties of this deform-ity, such as glandulo-penile, peno-scrotal, and perineo-scrotal (page 1244),are sometimes seen. The Preparation.—Before the operation the urine should be drawn andthe parts thoroughly cleansed. Chloroform anesthesia is advisable if nocontra-indications to its use be present. The penis is then confined to thestrip of wood (Fig. 1464,^?) by means of the pins passed through the cuta-neous borders of the organ, in order that it may be the better controlledduring the manipulative measures.
