Abstract

In
this study we aimed to detect and draw attention to corresponding lower urinary
tract obstructions in hypospadias patients by using uroflowmetry measurements.
After obtaining written consents, totally 63 patients whom were performed
hypospadias surgery and post op monitoring between january 2012 and january
2013, enrolled in our study. Pre and post op comparison of some uroflowmetry
parametres including; mean urinary flow rates, duration to reach utmost urinary
flow, urinary flow duration, duration of urinary decharge, post voiding
residual volume and features of flow curves were conducted according to the
literatural datas. We offer uroflowmetry examination as an easy to use, cost
effective and non invasive test  for  revealing any corresponding lower urinary
tract obstructions in hypospadias surgery performed patients. It also enables
early diagnosis of such obstructions in mid term and long term follow up.
