The objective of this article is to evaluate the role of different variables affecting the results of tubularised incised plate repair for hypospadias. We prospectively evaluated 125 patients of TIPU repair from April 2009 to October 2011. Study parameters were age, severity of hypospadias, degree of curvature and torsion, size of penis and glans, width of urethral plate, development of spongiosum and complication rate. Patients were classified into five groups by age; Group I- 6 months to 2 years, Group II- 2 to5 years, Group III- 5 to10 years, Group IV- 10 to 15 years and Group V- older than 15 years. Results were analyzed with reference to different variables. Age ranged from 6 months to 26 years (mean 8.8 years). Complication rate when comparing group V and youngest patients (groups I & II) was 20% Vs 3.6% (p=0.08), and when comparing older children (G-III and IV) with youngest patients (group I & II) was 15% Vs 3.6% (p=0.135). More severe hypospadias had higher complications (30% in proximal, 5.7% in distal (p = 0.001). The complication rate was 3.6%, 38.8% and 35.7% respectively in cases with mild, moderate and severe curvature (p = 0.001). Complications were higher in patients with poor spongiosum and higher age (p = 0.001) and in patients with narrow urethral plate (p = 0.0001). Follow up period was from about 10 months to 2 years (mean = 20 months). Urethral fistula and stricture were the most commonly reported complications. Important factors in outcome of TIPU repair were the degree of curvature, width of urethral plate development of spongiosum, age of child and severity of hypospadias. The development of urethral plate and spongiosum is directly proportional to the complication rate. Complications increase significantly with the increasing age of the patient.
