This study compared using autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) versus a dartos flap for covering the urethra after distal hypospadias repair using the Snodgrass technique. The randomized study of 180 patients found no significant difference in operative time between the PRP and dartos flap groups. Post-operative complication rates and cosmetic results were also similar between the two covering methods. The study concluded that PRP could be a low-cost alternative to other tissue grafts for urethral coverage after hypospadias repair.
