Comparing two surgeries for distal hypospadias in boys
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- He has little to no downward curve of the penis (less than 30 degrees).
- He does not have other major genital differences.
- He has not had any prior surgery to fix hypospadias.

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 compares two surgical techniques to fix severe downward curvature in children having their first hypospadias repair. The goal is to find which method works better for straightening the penis.
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.
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.
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.
