HYPOSPADIAS

This study tested whether applying an estrogen cream to the penis for two months before surgery could help reduce healing complications in boys with severe hypospadias. Researchers compared the estrogen cream against a placebo cream in 244 boys aged 9-36 months who needed surgica…

This study compared two different ways to drain urine after surgery to correct a common birth defect in boys called hypospadias. It involved 86 boys with a mild form of the condition to see which drainage method and how long it was used led to fewer problems, like urine leaks, af…

This study tested whether adding tiny particles from a child's own stem cells could help rebuild missing tissue during surgery for a common birth defect called hypospadias. The goal was to see if this new approach could lower the high rate of complications like fistulas and stric…

This study looked at a specific surgical technique for children who needed a second operation to correct hypospadias, a birth defect where the urethra doesn't fully develop. Doctors tested if a single-stage procedure could successfully rebuild the urinary channel in these complex…

This study compared two standard surgical techniques for repairing hypospadias, a birth condition where the opening of the penis is in the wrong place. It involved 110 boys aged 1-12 years to see if leaving a small temporary tube (a stent) in place after surgery leads to fewer co…

This study compared two different ultrasound-guided nerve-blocking techniques for managing pain in children (aged 1-7 years) undergoing hypospadias repair surgery. The goal was to see if a newer method, called a sacral multifidus plane block, works as well as or better than the s…

This study compared two methods for managing pain after hypospadias repair surgery in young children. Researchers tested a newer nerve block technique against the standard epidural block to see which provided better pain relief. They measured pain levels in 86 children aged 1 to …

This study aimed to discover new genes that cause hypospadias, a condition where the opening of the urethra is not at the tip of the penis. Researchers analyzed the DNA of 60 patients from families with multiple cases of hypospadias. The goal was to improve understanding of the c…

This study followed 10 boys who had surgery to correct hypospadias, a common birth defect where the opening of the urethra is not at the tip of the penis. Researchers checked on their health after puberty to see how well the surgical repairs held up over the long term. They looke…

This study measured the size of the penis and glans (head) in boys with hypospadias, a birth defect where the urethra opening is in the wrong place, and compared them to boys without the condition. Researchers took detailed measurements from 410 boys during their urological surge…
