- OBJECTIVE: Hypospadias repair with tubularized incised plate urethroplasty (TIP) produces good cosmesis, but is reported to result in a change in urinary stream postoperatively, with an obstructive pattern. The aim of this retrospective study was to determine whether early uroflowmetry is a good method for diagnosing neourethral stricture. PATIENTS AND METHOD: In 126 boys, primary TIP repair was performed between 1999 and 2003. Uroflowmetry was performed in potty-trained boys 2 months' postoperatively (68 boys) and both 2 and 12 months (38 boys) after TIP. Boys with obstructed flow and/or clinical symptoms were calibrated in their neourethra. RESULTS: Forty-nine percent of the boys with distal hypospadias and 87% of the proximal cases had a flow rate of less than 10 ml/s at uroflowmetry 2 months after TIP, but only 12/126 boys (10%) were considered to have a neourethral stricture. There was a spontaneous increase in maximum flow rate between 2 and 12 months after TIP repair both in patients who had been calibrated and in boys in whom no intervention had been performed. CONCLUSION: Early uroflowmetry appears to be unnecessary, as the voiding history appears to be just as good at alerting a suspicion of urethral stricture after TIP repair. There is a spontaneous normalization of the urinary flow in boys after TIP repair, but the need for long-term follow up beyond puberty is great, especially in cases of proximal hypospadias.
