Single vs double dartos flap for hypospadias repair
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to repair distal hypospadias in boys. It aims to find which method works better for fixing the opening of the urethra near the tip of the penis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a boy between 6 months and 18 years old.
- You must have distal hypospadias (the urinary opening is on the underside of the penis, but not too far from the tip).
- This must be your first surgery for hypospadias.
- Your urethral plate (the tissue used for repair) must be more than 8 millimeters wide.
- Your glans (head of the penis) must be at least 14 millimeters wide.

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 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 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 compares two surgical methods to repair a common birth condition where the urine opening is on the underside of the penis instead of the tip. One method moves the urine opening forward, and the other uses a skin flap. This study aims to find which approach works better for mild cases.
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.
This trial compares two surgical methods to fix a common birth defect in boys where the urine opening is on the underside of the penis, near the tip. It tests if using a special blood-derived graft (platelet-rich plasma) works as well as or better than a standard skin flap technique.
