This vintage medical pamphlet, “Hypospadias and epispadias” by Charles E Horton, offers a valuable glimpse into the historical understanding and treatment of these congenital urological conditions. Published as part of the “Clinical symposia” series, it likely served as an educational resource for medical professionals in the mid-20th century. Hypospadias and epispadias, while relatively rare, have been documented since ancient times, with various surgical techniques employed over the centuries to address them. Horton’s work would have represented the contemporary knowledge and approaches of his era, potentially shedding light on the evolution of medical practices in this field. For collectors interested in the history of medicine or urology, this pamphlet could be a fascinating addition, providing insights into the diagnostic and therapeutic methods of a bygone era. Moreover, it may hold significance for researchers studying the progression of medical understanding over time.
