Single vs double dartos flap for hypospadias repair
Part of 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 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 trial tests whether adding a special gel made from the child's own blood, called platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), helps healing after surgery to fix hypospadias, a birth condition where the urinary opening is on the underside of the penis. It may reduce complications and improve recovery.
This study compares two surgical techniques to fix a buried penis in children. It aims to find which method works better for cosmetic and functional outcomes.
This trial compares two techniques for repairing distal hypospadias, a condition where the opening of the penis is not at the tip. It uses either a special blood-derived graft or a small flap of tissue to support the repair, aiming to improve outcomes.
This study compares two surgical techniques (Urethral Mobilisation and Mathieu) for correcting distal hypospadias, a condition where the opening of the penis is not at the tip. The goal is to find which method gives better results with fewer complications.
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.
