New study tests better surgical fix for buried penis in boys
NCT ID NCT07675915
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compares two surgical methods to fix buried penis in children under 18. One technique attaches the suspensory ligament to the skin; the other attaches it to the penile shaft. The goal is to see which approach has fewer complications and lower recurrence rates.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If one technique proves better, it could reduce the need for repeat surgeries and improve outcomes for children with buried penis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study with 40 participants, so results may not apply to all cases. Both procedures carry standard surgical risks like infection or scarring.
