[Comparison of the results of correction of medium and proximal hypospadias using onlay island flap and tubularized incised plate methods in children].

Results of treatment of 35 children with primary medium and proximal hypospadias, including 15 boys undergoing Onlay Island Flap (OIF) and 20 boys undergoing Tubularized Incised Plate (TIP) were analyzed. At the time of OIF surgery the average age of children was 50.7 (14-130) months, TIP--26 (9-74) months. Long-term outcomes (at least one year after surgery) were registered in all children. After OIF, complications were observed in 9 (60%) children; after TIP--in 5 (25%). Statistically significant differences in the number of postoperative complications were not identified, but re-operation was statistically significantly less required in children undergoing TIP (p = 0.016).
