Plate Objective Scoring Tool (POST); An objective methodology for the assessment of urethral plate in distal hypospadias

BACKGROUND: Estimation of the quality of the urethral plate (UP) seems to be important when assessing postoperative outcomes of hypospadias repair, but its evaluation remains subjective. We developed an objective model aiming to standardize this assessment, proposing a methodology that could be adopted in future studies designed to evaluate outcomes in the treatment of hypospadias. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the inter and intra observer …
