Effect of Suturing Technique and Urethral Plate Characteristics on Complication Rate Following Hypospadias Repair: A Prospective Randomized Study

Suture technique has no influence on the outcome of tubularized incised plate urethroplasty. Urethral plate characteristics do not affect the complication rate except for plate width, which significantly affects the outcome. Adequate urethral plate width (8 mm or greater) is essential for successful tubularized incised plate repair.
