Comparing two surgical methods for distal hypospadias repair
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two surgical techniques (Urethral Mobilisation and Mathieu) for correcting distal hypospadias, a condition where the opening of the penis is not at the tip. The goal is to find which method gives better results with fewer complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be a boy between 6 months and 7 years old.
- The hypospadias must be the distal type, meaning the opening is near the tip of the penis, such as coronal or subcoronal.
- Your child should have no or only mild downward curvature of the penis (less than 30 degrees).
- Your child must not have had any prior hypospadias repair surgery.
- Your child should not have other serious genital abnormalities or severe health conditions that could complicate surgery.

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 study compares two surgical techniques to correct a severe curve in boys undergoing hypospadias repair. If your child has a significant bend (30 degrees or more) after the surgeon cuts the urethral plate, this trial may help determine which method gives better results.
This study looks at how well surgery repairs a common birth defect called distal hypospadias, where the opening of the penis is not at the tip. It aims to see how the repair works in children who have not had prior surgery and who are not circumcised.
This trial compares two techniques for repairing distal hypospadias, a condition where the opening of the penis is not at the tip. It uses either a special blood-derived graft or a small flap of tissue to support the repair, aiming to improve outcomes.
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 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.
