However, is the classification of the UP width based on an 8 mm cut-off value to predict the outcome of TIP urethroplasty objective enough or universally applicable? The purpose of our study was to assess the effect of the UP width on the outcomes of TIP hypospadias repair in the Eastern population we served.<h4>Methods</h4>We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients who underwent TIP hypospadias repair by the same surgeon between August 2013 and December 2019 in our hospital.
