Platelet gel vs. skin flap for tip hypospadias repair
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical methods to fix a common birth defect in boys where the urine opening is on the underside of the penis, near the tip. It tests if using a special blood-derived graft (platelet-rich plasma) works as well as or better than a standard skin flap technique.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child must be older than 6 months
- The urethra opening is near the tip of the penis (distal hypospadias)
- This is the first surgery for this condition (not a repeat surgery)

This trial tests two ways to add an extra layer during hypospadias repair surgery in young boys. One method uses a material made from your child's own blood (platelet-rich fibrin), and the other uses a small flap of tissue from the penis. The goal is to see which method helps the healing better.
This study tests whether using a special clot from the child's own blood (platelet-rich fibrin) during hypospadias repair helps the penis heal better after surgery. It is for children having their first surgery for hypospadias located at the tip or middle of the penis.
