New Fixation Technique vs Standard for Buried Penis in Children
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a new surgical technique for fixing a buried penis in children. It compares a newer method using a special ligament to an older method that attaches the penis to the covering tissue. Your child might qualify if they are under 18, diagnosed with a buried penis, and have not had prior penile surgery.

This trial compares two different surgical techniques for repairing proximal hypospadias in infants and children. The goal is to find which method works better to help the penis function and look normal.
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.
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 a surgical repair technique for children with distal hypospadias (where the urinary opening is on the underside of the penis, but near the tip). It is designed for children who have not had surgery before and are not circumcised.
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 trial compares two surgical techniques (a 'graft' vs. a 'flap') to repair a severe type of hypospadias in boys. The goal is to find which method works better to create a normal-looking and functioning penis.
