title: Tubularized incised plate (TIP) hypospadias repair.
abstract: In the past 6 years TIP urethroplasty has become a preferred technique for distal hypospadias repair, and has also been used for proximal lesions and reoperations. In this article technical aspects of the procedure are described and published outcomes reviewed. TIP hypospadias repair has gained widespread acceptance because of its versatility, low complication rate and reliable creation of a vertically-oriented meatus.
