The effect of staged TIP urethroplasty on proximal hypospadias with severe chordee.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Proximal hypospadias with severe chordee is still a formidable challenge for most pediatric urologists, and the treatment approach remains controversial. Here, we describe a modified two-stage technique to repair proximal hypospadias with severe chordee.

Methods

We retrospectively identified 53 children referred for proximal hypospadias with severe chordee from July 2016 to July 2019, who underwent a two-stage urethroplasty. In group 1, the children were repaired with staged tubularized incised plate (TIP) urethroplasty, while Byars' two-stage urethroplasty was attempted in group 2. We corrected chordee by releasing all remaining attachments to the corpora after degloving the penis, transceting the urethral plate, and dorsal plication. The mean age of patients in
