Hypospadias is a common birth defect, occurring in one out of every 150 to 300 boys. It is a condition in which the urethral opening does not form completely to the tip of the penis. Instead, the opening may be located anywhere along the underside of the penis. About 70 percent of boys with this condition have distal hypospadias. In 15 percent of those cases, it is associated with mild downward curvature of the penis called a chordee.

An inguinal hernia occurs when a section of intestine protrudes through a weakness in the abdominal muscles in the groin area. About 1 percent of boys develop hernias with premature infant males having a higher incidence.
