Predicting outcomes for hypospadias surgery
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study follows boys having their first surgery for hypospadias (where the pee hole is not at the tip of the penis) to find out what factors lead to the best results. The goal is to help doctors better predict who will have a smooth recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Boy between 1 and 12 years old
- Has hypospadias (distal, midpenile, or proximal type)
- Has not had any prior surgery on the penis
- Planning to have the first surgery to fix hypospadias
- Parent or legal guardian agrees to the study

This study will test a yearly screening program for males who have had surgery to fix hypospadias (a birth defect where the urine opening is on the underside of the penis). It aims to understand how screening can help monitor long-term health.
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 study tests a program to help parents feel more supported when their young child is diagnosed with hypospadias. You and your child may be able to join if you are a parent or guardian, your child is under 6, and you have an upcoming urology visit to discuss hypospadias.
This study tests whether certain chemicals in the environment (called endocrine disruptors) might be linked to hypospadias, a condition where a baby boy's penis opening is on the underside instead of the tip. By testing hair samples from mothers, researchers hope to find connections that could help prevent this condition in the future.
This study looks for genetic causes of differences in how a baby or child’s sex organs develop, including hypospadias. You may be able to join if doctors can’t find a reason using standard testing.
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.
