Abstract
SUMMARY Aim: Currently, TIPU is one of the most commonly used correction methods both primary and recurrent hypospadias. In this study we aimed to compare success rate of TIPU on primary and recurrent cases. Methods: In this study, totally 132 patients who had primary hypospadias with minimal or no chordee (n=83) and recurrent hypospadias with a normal urethral plate (n=49) were repaired with Tubularized Incised Plate Urethroplasty (TIPU). Patients were followed up for 34 (6-48) months postoperatively. Results: Among patients with recurrent hypospadias 3 meatal stricture and 4 fistula were observed. Meatal stricture (n=4) and fistula (n=7) were seen who had primary hypspadias. None had urethral stricture. The success rate was 86,75% in cases with primary hypospadias and 85,72% in cases with recurrent hypospadias. Conclusions: We concluded that the results of TIPU in both primary and recurrent cases were satisfactory with low complication rate and can be used succesfully in circumcised cases.
