Better pain relief after hypospadias surgery in children
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two versions of a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) given as a penile block to see if adding another medicine (dexmedetomidine) provides better pain relief after hypospadias repair in children. The goal is to improve comfort during recovery.
