Prabhakara Rao M, Shiva Kumar P, B Prakasa Rao

Abstract :

Objectives: The objectives of this study are to assess the outcomes of Tubularized incised plate urethroplasty(TIP) for distal hypospadias such as cosmetic appearance of the penis, functional outcome(voiding) and complications.

 

Methodology: This is a prospective study of 25 patients  with distal hypospadias over 2 years period between January 2015 to January 2017 at GGH Guntur Andhra Pradesh  treated with TIP urethroplasty, to assess postoperative cosmetic, functional outcomes and its complications

 

Results:Most of the patients who underwent surgery were in 0-5 age group (64%) followed by 6 -10age group(20%). Most of the patients presented with sub coronal hypospadias(48%). 80% of them had fair cosmetic outcomes and 88% voided with good stream.Urethro cutaneous fistula occurred in 3 cases constituting 12% of complication rate.

 

Conclusion:TIP repair gives favourable outcomes with low complication rates. Given it’s versatility and results with reference to cosmesis and functional voiding, this technique is the most preferred one for distal Hypospadias repair.
