Is Dorsal Inlay Graft (DIG) With TIP Repair Superior to TIP Alone for Primary Hypospadias?

This prospective, randomized study included all patients who presented with primary hypospadias without chordee, Patients were randomized into two groups as group 1 or group 2,Group 1: Repaired with standard TIP repair as described by Snodgrass Group 2: Repaired with TIP with GIP using preputial graft. In both groups the functional outcomes were primarily compared regarding meatal position, shape, and the functional outcomes of the neourethra, in addition to other complications such as UCF, wound complications, cosmetic results and the need for a second surgery.

the investigators aimed to investigate whether GIP with TIP repair is superior to TIP, as described by Snodgrass in different types of UP and to provide an overview of the technical aspects of current TIP repair practices.
