Long-term outcomes of valve surgery in boys
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at the long-term results of a surgery that fixes a blockage in baby boys' urine tube. It helps doctors understand how well boys do one year or more after the procedure.

This study looks at how children with posterior urethral valves (a condition that affects urination) feel about their quality of life as they grow up. It will help doctors understand how these children are doing emotionally and socially, so they can improve care.
This trial tests if tamsulosin, a medicine that relaxes muscles in the bladder and prostate, can help children with a condition called posterior urethral valve. It aims to improve how the bladder works and reduce urinary problems.
This study tests whether circumcision (removal of foreskin) helps prevent fever-causing urinary tract infections in newborn boys born with a rare bladder valve condition. Researchers will compare boys who receive circumcision with those who don't to see if it reduces infections.
This trial tests whether early use of oxybutynin can improve bladder and urine behavior in very young boys with posterior urethral valves. It is mainly for babies whose bladder tests show problems even after valve surgery.
This trial studies a fetal cystoscopy procedure to treat severe urinary tract blockage in a baby boy during pregnancy. It aims to see whether the procedure helps improve outcomes, but it requires specific pregnancy conditions and testing beforehand.
This study looks back at children who were diagnosed with widened or enlarged parts of the urinary tract before or after birth. It aims to understand their long-term health and follow-up. If your child had this condition and had at least two ultrasound check-ups after birth, they may be included.
