Objective: To compare the outcomes of modified Mathieu versus standard tubularised incised-plate urethroplasty for distal hypospadias repair.  Materials and Methods: This prospective comparative study was conducted on 54 cases affected by distal hypospadias presenting to Institute of Kidney Disease, Hayatabad, Peshawar form February 2015 to June 2020. The inclusion criteria was patients with distal hypospadias (coronal, sub-coronal, or distal penile), age range of 15 to 60 months. Cases with severe chordee/ventral curvature, history of previous hypospadias repair, and poorly developed urethral plate were excluded. The patients with distal hypospadias were divided into two equal groups: in-group I repair done with Mathieu procedure plus incision of the urethral plate (modified Mathieu) and in-group II repair was performed with Tubularized Incised Plate (TIP). The principal author performed functional and cosmetic assessment at follow up visits which includes; denvo meatus; size and pressure of the stream; and complications like meatal stenosis, urethral cutaneous fistula. Fisher Exact test was used to compare categorical variables between the two groups and student t test for continuous variables.  Results: The mean age of the study was 38.13±12.55 months. The operating time was less in TIP than modified Mathieu procedure statistically (P=0.036, 95% CI=0.315, 9.02). In modified Mathieu procedure the sprayed stream of micturition was higher (n=4, 14.8%) while in TIP procedure the frequency of narrow stream was higher (n=4, 14.8%). The difference was statistically significant (P=0.054). Only in modified Mathieu procedure the meatus shape was round in 4 (14.8%) cases and the results were statistically different (P=0.038). Post-operative fistula was higher TIP (n=6, 22.2%) than modified Mathieu (n=1, 3.7%) statistically (P=0.043). Only in TIP procedure postoperative meatal stenosis was found in 5 (18.5%) and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.019).  Conclusion: The modified Mathieu technique can improve the cosmetic outcome through creation of slit-like meatus, low incidence of fistula and meatal stenosis than tubularized incised plate urethroplasty in the repair of distal hypospadias.
