Abstract 

Purpose

We report a multicenter experience using tubularized incised plate urethroplasty to correct distal hypospadias.

Materials and Methods

A total of 148 patients underwent repair by 6 pediatric urologists at different institutions in the United States and Europe.

Results

Tubularized incised plate repair created a functional neourethra with a vertically oriented meatus. Complications, including meatal stenoses and fistulas, occurred in 10 patients (7 percent).

Conclusions

Tubularized incised plate urethroplasty can be performed in most cases of distal hypospadias. Cosmetic results are superior to those of other popular techniques.
