The systematic review, based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs), provides evidence supporting the use of DDF over SDF in hypospadias repair, particularly in distal hypospadias using the TIP procedure. The article emphasizes the potential advantages of DDF in reducing UCF but further robust evidence is needed to confirm these results based on the findings of TSA and FI.
