The most preferable method for distal hypospadias surgery: TIPU Technique

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficiency of tubularized incised-plate urethroplasty (TIPU) method and the complication rates with postoperative early periodical urethral dilatations. Hypospadias is one of the most common congenital anomaly in male genital system. Retrospectively 45 case’s records which had distal hypospadias and undergone surgery were studied in Samsun Obstetrics and Gynecology and Children’s Hospital. The ages of the patients, their meatus locations, cordi existence, suture materials, stenting times, complication incidences after surgery, were evaluated. None of the patients had urethrocutoneous fistule, meatal stenosis, or wound place infection. In all cases, the cosmetic results satisfied both the patient’s family and the doctor. TIPU is the most outstanding treatment alternative in distal hypospadias, when its advantages, such as less complication ratios, perfect cosmetic and funtional results are considered.
