description <h3>Introduction</h3><p dir="ltr"><u>Hypospadias</u> is one of the most common <u>urogenital malformations </u>in male <u>newborns</u>. Numerous techniques exist for repairing hypospadias, including urethral advancement, tubularized incised plate (TIP), flaps, and graft-tubularized incised plate (GTIP). However, it remains unclear which approach is optimal in cases with an unfavourable urethral plate. </p><h3>Objective</h3><p dir="ltr">This <u>systematic review</u> and network meta-analysis compares efficacy, complication rates, and patient outcomes of the various surgical procedures used to repair hypospadias with an unfavorable urethral plate. </p><h3>Study design</h3><p dir="ltr">Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines were used to conduct a search of PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Science Direct databases up to May 4, 2024. Studies were rigorously screened and evaluated using Cochrane Risk of Bias 2.0. A random-effects meta-analysis was conducted using R-Studio to combine effect estimates. Included were peer-reviewed publications of <u>randomized controlled trials</u>, <u>prospective cohort studies</u>, and retrospective studies involving male patients diagnosed with hypospadias and “unfavorable urethral plate”. </p><h3>Results and discussion</h3><p dir="ltr">A total of 20 studies representing n = 1483 patients were included, screened, and displayed low risk of bias. Four studies were included in the network meta-analysis. Narrow meatus were found to be more prevalent in TIP <u>urethroplasty</u>, while glans dehiscence was less common with flaps. Additionally, TIPs and GTIP displayed lower incidence of <u>diverticulum</u> compared to flaps. The network meta-analysis indicated no significant differences between the three procedures in terms of <u>fistula</u> complication (Flap [OR 0.41; 95 % CI 0.11–1.50] and GTIP [OR 0.52; 95 % CI 0.17–1.57]).
