Comparison of variables affecting the surgical outcomes of tubularized incised plate urethroplasty in adult and pediatric hypospadias

Complication rates were higher in adults undergoing TIPU compared with pediatric patients, which was also statistically significant in distal hypospadias. The important factors in surgical outcome were: severity of hypospadias, degree of curvature, quality of spongiosum, and urethral plate width.395Figure. A.
