Aims The purpose of this study was to determine urodynamic features in hypospadic patients. Methods Thirty‐seven patients with hypospadias (distal: 31, proximal: 6) underwent preoperative urodynamic study according to International Continence Society (ICS) recommendations. Statistical analysis were done for comparison between urethral obstruction and non‐obstruction in patients with detrusor overactivity (DO) plus the relationship of DO with localization of hipospadias. Results Nearly 45.9% of the patients showed overactive detrusor. Urethral obstruction was found in 60.8% of the patients. The rate of DO was higher in proximal hipospadias, and urethral obstruction than distal type, and non‐obstructed patients ( P > 0.005). The means overall cystometric capacity, maximum voiding detrusor pressure and maximal urinary flow measured were 132.6 ± 111.14 ml (range 21–610), 72 ± 53 cmH 2 O (range 12–181), and 7.9 ± 7.1 ml/sec (range 2–30 ml/sec), respectively. Conclusions To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study ever to show that overactive detrusor is an accompanying entity in the hypospadic patients. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
