How do asymptomatic toilet-trained children void following tubularized incised-plate hypospadias repair?

Purpose: : To evaluate the functional outcome in the form of urinary flow rates in asymptomatic children following uncomplicated tubularized incised plate urethroplasty (TIPU) hypospadias repair.

Methods: : We reviewed the records of children who underwent TIPU at our institution between April 1997 and September 2007 and included only asymptomatic toilet-trained children who had an uncomplicated postoperative course and had undergone uroflometry not less than 1 year postoperatively. Unfavourable voiding parameters were either a plateau curve, a peak flow below the 5th percentile range in nomogram or a post-void residual (PVR) more than 20% of the total functional capacity of the bladder.
