First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares two surgical techniques to correct severe penile curvature in children with hypospadias. The standard method uses a flap from the scrotum, which can cause extra surgery time and complications. The new method uses tissue from the urethra itself, aiming for a simpler and safer repair. The trial will enroll 90 children aged 6 months to 14 years and follow them for 12 months to see if the curvature returns.
