Comparing two surgical methods for proximal hypospadias
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial compares two different surgical techniques for repairing proximal hypospadias in infants and children. The goal is to find which method works better to help the penis function and look normal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an infant or child with a condition where the urinary opening is located near the base of the penis (proximal hypospadias)
- You have not had any surgery on your penis before
- You have not been circumcised
- Your penis is not bent or scarred from a previous condition or injury
- Your caregivers agree to the treatment plan

This trial compares two surgical techniques to repair distal hypospadias in boys. It aims to find which method works better for fixing the opening of the urethra near the tip of the penis.
This study compares a standard surgery (TIP) to one that uses a small graft (DIG) to see which gives better results for boys with hypospadias. It may help determine if adding the graft improves healing and reduces complications.
This trial compares two surgical methods to repair a common birth condition where the urine opening is on the underside of the penis instead of the tip. One method moves the urine opening forward, and the other uses a skin flap. This study aims to find which approach works better for mild cases.
This trial compares two surgical techniques (a 'graft' vs. a 'flap') to repair a severe type of hypospadias in boys. The goal is to find which method works better to create a normal-looking and functioning penis.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to fix a common birth defect where the opening of the urethra is on the underside of the penis. It tests whether a new method using a special glue is better than the standard method.
This trial tests a surgical repair technique for children with distal hypospadias (where the urinary opening is on the underside of the penis, but near the tip). It is designed for children who have not had surgery before and are not circumcised.
