Circumcision to prevent urinary infections in newborn boys with posterior urethral valves
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether circumcision alone can reduce the risk of urinary tract infections with fever in newborn boys who have posterior urethral valves, a birth defect that can block urine flow. It compares circumcision alone to standard care, and aims to see if it helps prevent these infections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study tests if a steroid cream applied to the foreskin can help prevent another urinary tract infection (UTI) in uncircumcised baby boys under 6 months old who have already had one confirmed UTI.
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 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 trial studies a new way to help stop urinary tract infections (UTIs) from coming back by using “bacterial interference” (changing the bacteria in the urinary system). It may help people who have had UTIs keep returning despite past treatments.
This trial tests whether taking antibiotics for 24 hours before urological endoscopic surgery reduces the risk of infection in patients who have bacteria in their urine but no symptoms. It may help prevent complications after the procedure.
