Caudal block for reducing fistula after hypospadias repair
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be male and between 6 months and 5 years old (60 months).
- Your child must have distal hypospadias (urethral opening near the tip of the penis).
- Your child is scheduled for first-time hypospadias repair surgery.
- Your child must not have any bleeding disorders, diabetes, or be on steroid therapy.
- Your child must have no skin infections on the lower back (where the injection would be given) and no known allergy to numbing medicines like bupivacaine.

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 types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given before laparoscopic surgery in children to see which one provides better pain relief after the operation. The blocks are done using ultrasound to guide the needle, and the goal is to reduce pain and the need for strong pain medicines.
This study tests whether giving dexamethasone with ondansetron before surgery can better prevent nausea, vomiting, and shivering in children receiving a caudal block for hypospadias repair. It aims to see if this combination is safer and more effective than standard care.
This study tests whether adding a medicine called dexmedetomidine to the pain-numbing drug used during a caudal block (an injection near the tailbone) provides better pain relief after hernia surgery in young children. It aims to find the best dose for longer-lasting comfort with fewer side effects.
