Types of hypospadias are.
Anterior (subcoronal and glandular)

Posterior (scrotal, penoscrotal and perineal)
Anterior (subcoronal and glandular)
Middle (distal penile, proximal penile and midshaft)
Posterior (scrotal, penoscrotal and perineal)
In nearly 50% of cases, the location is anterior, 20% of cases have a middle location and the rest are posterior. Overall, the subcoronal position is the most common abnormal location.
That’s the end of this thread.
