Opening of the article
Background: Snodgrass’ Tubularised incised plate (TIP) urethroplasty repair has simplified the approach to distal penile hypospadias being a single-stage procedure with excellent functional results and cosmesis. But the assessment of the results of hypospadias repair remains problematic, as there exists a significant difference between the judgement of patients and operating surgeons. In order to eliminate the observer bias, we aim to establish uroflowmetry as an objective tool for the functional assessment. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted during the period of November 2019 to February 2021 of all cases of Snodgrass hypospadias surgery.
