HYPOSPADIAS

This study tested a new approach to reduce complications in boys born with hypospadias, a condition where the urinary opening is on the underside of the penis. Researchers used exosomes (tiny healing particles) from the boys' own urine stem cells during surgery to help rebuild th…

This study tested a single-stage surgery called tubularized incised plate urethroplasty for children who needed a second hypospadias repair. Fifteen children with a suitable urethral plate took part. The goal was to see how successful the surgery was and to track complications li…

This study looked at 120 boys aged 2-12 who had surgery to correct distal hypospadias, a birth defect where the urine opening is not at the tip of the penis. Doctors compared two surgical techniques: one using a standard double-layer tissue cover, and another adding an extra flap…

This study looked at 86 children, ages 1 to 7, having surgery for hypospadias (a birth condition affecting the penis). Researchers compared two types of pain blocks given during surgery: a sacral erector spinae plane block and a caudal epidural block. Pain was measured using a sp…

This study tested two different ultrasound-guided pain blocks in 30 children aged 1-7 years having hypospadias repair surgery. The goal was to see which block provides longer pain relief after surgery. Researchers measured the time until the first rescue pain medication was neede…

This study looked at 60 children aged 1 to 6 having hypospadias surgery. It compared two types of nerve blocks given with general anesthesia to see which provides better pain relief after surgery. The goal is to improve how we manage pain in young children after this common opera…

This study tested whether applying estrogen cream to the penis daily for two months before surgery could reduce complications like fistulas (abnormal openings) and wound separation in 244 boys with severe hypospadias, a birth defect where the urethra doesn't form properly. The bo…

This study looked at 86 children who had surgery to fix a common birth defect where the urine opening is on the underside of the penis (distal hypospadias). The goal was to find the best method and length of time for draining urine after surgery to prevent complications like fist…

This study looked at 110 boys aged 1-12 years having surgery for hypospadias, a birth defect where the urine opening is on the underside of the penis. Surgeons compared two approaches: leaving a temporary tube (stent) in the new urine passage after surgery versus no stent. The go…

This study measured the size of the glans (head of the penis) in 410 boys undergoing urologic surgery, comparing those with hypospadias to those without. The goal was to collect data by age, weight, and ethnicity to understand normal growth differences. No treatment was given; it…

This study looked for new genes that may cause hypospadias, a birth defect where the opening of the penis is not at the tip. Researchers studied 60 people who have hypospadias and a family history of the condition. They used exome sequencing to compare genomes and find genetic va…

This study looked at 10 males who had surgery for hypospadias (a birth defect where the urine opening is not at the tip of the penis) during childhood. The goal was to see how they were doing after puberty, checking for complications, urinary symptoms, and sexual function. Resear…
