An agreed upon method for describing the severity of hypospadias has not been established. Herein we assess the inter-observer reliability of the GMS hypospadias score and correlate it with the risk of a post-operative complication. A 3-component method for grading the severity of hypospadias was...
We classified boys undergoing primary hypospadias repair to determine the correlation between GMS score and postoperative complications.Between February 2011 and August 2013, patients undergoing primary hypospadias repair were prospectively scored using the GMS classification. GMS scoring included a 1-4 scale...

The meatus (M) score is based on the location of the meatus. Lastly, the shaft (S) score is based on the severity of chordee. The more unfavorable the characteristic the higher the assigned value. The lowest GMS score possible is 3 (very mild hypospadias) and the highest 12 (severe)....
