Thank you for the opportunity to write a commentary on this article. In their paper,
the authors compare two surgical techniques to augment a narrow urethral plate. They
choose a prospective, randomized study design and found that dorsal inlay grafts have
a better outcome than longitudinal onlay flaps.

- PreviewThe measurement of the urethral plate width (as an objective parameter) and its effect of this width on the results of tubularized incised plate urethroplasty (TIPU) have been reported in two series and both authors reported that a urethral plate width < 8 mm is associated with higher complication rates. The augmentation of the urethral plate either by dorsal inlay graft urethroplasty (DIGU) or Onlay flap has been compared with the original TIPU in different degrees of hypospadias with better surgical results in augmented cases.
