Consenting individuals (n\u00a0=\u2009163) completed validated questionnaires, and clinical records provided data on hypospadias type (distal vs. proximal) and reinterventions. Scores were analysed by domain and compared according to hypospadias severity and reoperation status (P\u00a0&amp;lt;\u20090.05 deemed significant).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>At a median follow-up age of 24\u00a0years (interquartile range [IQR] 20-29), 79.8% of cases were distal (n\u00a0=\u2009130) and 20.2% proximal (n\u00a0=\u200933); 31.3% (n\u00a0=\u200951) had undergone reoperation. Overall outcomes were favourable: median hypospadias objective scoring evaluation (HOSE) 14.0 (IQR 11-15), median penile perception score (PPS) 9.0 (IQR 8-10), and median hypospadias objective questionnaire (HOQ) satisfaction 14.0 (IQR 11-16), and median total satisfaction in genital hypospadias treatment (SIGHT) 29.0 (IQR 24-34). A total of 51.6% were sexually active, with a median SIGHT sexual-function item score of 4.0 (IQR 3-5). Urethrocutaneous fistula occurred in 26.4%. Proximal cases had higher re-operation rates (51.5% vs 26.1%) and worse aesthetic (PPS median 8.0 vs 10.0), functional (HOSE median 13.0 vs 14.0), and psychosocial (SIGHT median 26.0 vs 30.0) scores than distal cases. Patients requiring re-intervention maintained satisfactory median HOSE (14.0) and SIGHT (29.0) scores. Follow-up preference, surgery recall, and centre loyalty medians were 3.0 (IQR 3-4), 2.0 (IQR 1-2), and 2.0 (IQR 2-2), respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Outcome Measures<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Validated patient-reported and clinical questionnaires assessing cosmetic (PPS, HOQ), objective\/functional (HOSE, HOQ), and psychosexual outcomes (SIGHT).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Strengths &amp; Limitations<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Strengths include the use of validated patient-reported measures and a multicentre, post-pubertal cohort.
