Platelet-rich fibrin for hypospadias repair
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has hypospadias where the opening is at the end or middle of the penis, not near the scrotum.
- This is the first time your child is having surgery to fix it.
- No severe downward curve of the penis that would require a different, staged procedure.
- No other health issues like diabetes, immune problems, or poor nutrition that could slow healing.
- No bleeding or clotting disorders.
- Your child is generally healthy and able to undergo surgery.

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 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 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 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 study follows boys having their first surgery for hypospadias (where the pee hole is not at the tip of the penis) to find out what factors lead to the best results. The goal is to help doctors better predict who will have a smooth recovery.
This study tests whether a treatment made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma or platelet-rich fibrin) can help heal chronic skin ulcers better than standard care. If you have a non-healing ulcer that fits the size and duration criteria, and you are generally healthy, you may be able to participate.
