Repair of distal hypospadias by the tubularised incised plate urethroplasty: A simple versatile technique

Sixteen patients with distal hypospadias were treated by tubularised incised plate (TIP) repair as described by Snodgrass.¹ Coronal hypospadias constituted most of the cases (56.2%). Patient age ranged from 1.2 to 4 years. Complications occurred in two cases (12%). One patient developed urethrocutaneous fistula (6 %) and meatal stenosis (6 %) occurred in another case. Cosmetic and functional results were excellent in fourteen cases. TIP repair is the optimal technique for virgin cases of distal hypospadias.
