Comparing two surgical methods for curved penis in hypospadias
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 6 months and 14 years old.
- This is their first surgery for hypospadias (no prior repairs).
- During surgery, the downward curve is measured to be 30 degrees or more after the urethral plate is cut.
- A parent or guardian must sign a consent form to allow participation.
- Your child does not have a glans (head of penis) smaller than 1 cm, undescended testicles, or a serious bleeding disorder.

This trial compares two surgical techniques to fix a common birth defect where the opening of the urethra is on the underside of the penis. It tests whether a new method using a special glue is better than the standard method.
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 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 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.
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.
This trial tests two ways to manage pain during and after surgery to fix hypospadias (a condition where the urinary opening is not at the tip of the penis). One method uses a shot of numbing medicine near the tailbone (caudal block) and the other uses local numbing medicine at the surgical site. The study helps find which approach works better for young children.
