Background. Hypospadias has a wide spectrum of penile abnormality requiring surgical correction. Most of the cases are of anterior variety and the surgical technique depends on constructing a neo urethra. Snodgrass or Tubularized Incised Plate (TIP) urethroplasty is one of the most popular techniques of urethroplasty which depends on the existing healthy, adequate and intact urethral plate. Different tissues have been described to cover the neourethra as second layer in literature. In this study we modified the TIP urethroplasty by covering the neourethra with 2 layers of pedicled prepucial mucosa or Dartos flap.
Objective. To see the outcome of modified Snodgrass or TIP urethroplasty in anterior mid and proximal penile hypospadias.
Materials and method. Total 88 patients were operated by modified Snodgrass technique or modified TIP urethroplasty from January 2012 to July 2016. Coronal, subcoronal, distal penile, mid penile and proximal penile hypospadias were included in the study. Every patient underwent modified TIP urethroplasty and outcomes were assessed.
Results. The mean age of the patients were 28.34±14.98 months, ranges from 6.5 to 65 months. 9 (10.2%) patients of our series develop urethrocutaneous fistula, 5 (5.68%) patients develop meatal stenosis and 1 (1.1%) patient developed neourethral stricture.
Conclusion. TIP urethroplasty is a versatile method to correct penile hypospadias. Covering of the neourethra with prepucial mucosa secure the neourethral anastomosis.
