- Abstract
<bold><italic>Purpose:</italic></bold> We present our experience of stented and unstented distal hypospadias repaired by tubularized incised plate urethroplasty (TIPU). <bold><italic>Patients and Methods:</italic></bold> Data of 84 patients who were operated by TIPU method in 2 hospitals were retrospectively analyzed, and they were invited to be included in the study. Sixty-six patients agreed to participate in the study and were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 consisted of 38 boys operated in Sütçü İmam University Hospital on using a stent between 2015 and 2017. Group 2 consisted of 28 boys operated in Private Hospital of Megapark on without a stent between 2016 and 2017. The hypospadias objective scoring evaluation (HOSE) scale was used to compare the groups. <bold><italic>Results:</italic></bold> The median age was 2.81 years in group 1 and 1.95 years in group 2 (<italic>p</italic> = 0.243). The mean follow-up duration was 25.74 ± 4.62 and 24.5 ± 4.19 months in groups 1 and 2 respectively (<italic>p</italic> = 0.268). The HOSE scores were similar in both groups with comparable results (<italic>p</italic> = 0.622). <bold><italic>Conclusions:</italic></bold> No difference was observed between the groups in this study, regarding functional and cosmetic outcomes according to the HOSE score. However, the results should be supported by prospective studies with a sufficient number of patients.
