NCT ID NCT07525570
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compared two surgical methods for repairing distal hypospadias, a birth defect where the urinary opening is on the underside of the penis. 120 boys aged 2-12 received either a standard double dartos flap or that plus a Byar's flap. The goal was to see which technique leads to fewer complications like fistulas (abnormal openings). Results were assessed over 6 months.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could identify a better surgical method to reduce complications like fistulas in children with hypospadias.
