Redo hypospadias repair is a challenging situation and its success depends on many factors. Several procedures could be used in such situations with variable outcomes. The investigator in this study aimed at comparing the results of these procedures
Purpose: Our study compared the outcome of the tubularized incised plate urethroplasty procedure and other procedures in the case of redo hypospadias repair. Methods: The participants were categorized into those who were treated by the tubularized incised plate procedure (Group A) and those who were treated by other procedures (Group B) and the collected data were compared between the two groups. The patients were examined regularly during the postoperative period for urethral-cutaneous fistula, meatal stenosis, penile curvature, penile skin coverage, and re-disruption.

assessment of the position of neo-meatus in glans together with its diameter as well as the presence of stenosis as judged by urethral calibration
Time frame: at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and at the end of the 1st year
The rate of development of recurrent post-operative chordae
The recurrence of ventral penile chordae as discovered by recurrent ventral penile curvature
Time frame: at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and at the end of the 1st year

Assessment of penile skin coverage as judged by the development of recurrent curvature, torsion and/or disfigurement
Time frame: at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and at the end of the 1st year
The incidence of the development of failed repair as discovered by the position of the neo-meatus
Re-disruption the reposition of the neo-meatus to the previous site
Time frame: at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and at the end of the 1st year
The incidence of the development of post-operative urethral-cutaneous fistula
The development of post-operative urethral-cutaneous fistula as judged by the development of a second urethral openning proximal to the neo-meatus
Time frame: at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and at the end of the 1st year
