Abstract

Purpose: We reported our experience in using tubularized incised plate urethroplasty for correction of hypospadias in Surin Provincial Hospital.

Materials and Methods: From September 2000 to June 2001, tubularized incised plate urethroplasty was performed in 8 boys. Their age ranged from 2 to 15 years. There were 2 cases of subcoronal, 3 cases of midshaft, and 3 cases of penoscrotal meatal hypospadias.

Results: Tubularized incised plate urethroplasty created a functional cosmetic outcome within 2 hours of operative time. Complication develops in one case (12.5 %) with wound dehiscence due to dislodgement of the stent on the second postoperative day.

Conclusion: Tubularized incised urethral plate urethroplasty is a versatile repair that can be applied to a wide range of variety in hypospadia. The procedure reliably creates a functional slit-like vertically oriented meatus following surgical correction.
