Comparing two numbing blocks for hypospadias repair in children
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary, Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to numb the lower belly and groin area for children having hypospadias repair. It tests if a newer injection method (sacral erector spinae block) works as well as the standard method (caudal block) to control pain during and after surgery.

This trial compares two different numbing techniques to help manage pain after hypospadias surgery (a procedure to correct the urinary opening in boys). The goal is to find which method works better and is safer for young children.
This study compares two types of pain-relief injections given during surgery for hypospadias repair in young children. The goal is to see which one works better for reducing pain after the operation.
This study compares two ways to give pain relief during and after lower abdominal surgery in young children: a medicine injected near the back (erector spinae plane block) versus a medicine given near the tailbone (caudal block). We want to see which method works better for controlling pain and reducing the need for extra pain medicine.
This study tests whether a numbing injection into the lower back (caudal block) reduces the risk of a leak or fistula after hypospadias repair surgery in young boys. It may help your child have fewer complications and a smoother recovery.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given before surgery to see which one controls pain better in children after lower belly surgery. If your child qualifies, they may receive one of these blocks to help them be more comfortable after the operation.
This study compares two ways of checking whether the numbing medicine (caudal block) is working well in children having lower belly surgery. It aims to help doctors monitor pain more accurately so kids get proper pain relief.
