Pre-incision urethral plate width does not impact short-term Tubularized Incised Plate urethroplasty outcomes

The UP width before incision did not increase urethroplasty complications. Surgeons do not need to measure or categorize the UP to determine suitability for TIP repair, as long as the plate incision is made deeply to the corpora.447Summary Figure. Pre- and post-urethral plate incision width measurements. A: Stretched urethral plate width, in this case 5 mm. B: Appearance of the plate after deep midline incision. C: Stretched urethral plate width after incision, measuring 11 mm.
