Trial summary

Hypospadias is a common congenital abnormality of the penis which affects approximately 1 boy in 250. The opening of the urethra is located on the undersurface of the penis rather than the tip,the foreskin is deficient and there is curvature of the penile shaft in more severe cases.

Study population: Patients with hypospadias

Who may be able to join

  • 1 Patients with hypospadias who have been treated one of the following two surgical proceduresStandard Tubularised Incised Plate (TIP) operation (Group A) or Tubularised Incised Plate (TIP) procedure incorporating a free graft of preputial skin (in a layer of foreskin) into the urethral reconstruction (Group B ) 2 The study will be confined to primary operations. Patients in whom either of the techniques was used for a secondary or 'redo' procedure will be excluded from the study.
  • 3 The study will be confined to boys over 3 years of age who are potty trained and able to pass urine for the non invasive flow rate test .

Who cannot join

  • 1 Patients whose hypospadias was corrected using some technique other than 'standard' or 'grafted' TIP repair.
  • 2 "Redo" cases 3 Boys under 3 years at the time of the study or patients who do not have full bladder control for some other reason.

About this study

Official title: Long Term Outcome of Hypospadias Repair: A Comparative Study

Hypospadias is a common congenital abnormality of the penis which affects approximately 1 boy in 250. The opening of the urethra is located on the undersurface of the penis rather than the tip,the foreskin is deficient and there is curvature of the penile shaft in more severe cases. Although the most commonly practised corrective operation ( TIP procedure) gives generally good results, recently published evidence points to a possible long term risk of stenosis ( narrowing of the reconstructed urethra). This comparative study will combine clinical assessment with non invasive measurements of urinary flow to assess the functional outcome of a large series of patients who have undergone hypospadias surgery . The study is primarily designed to answer this question : does a modification of the standard operation which incorporates a skin graft into the reconstructed urethra lead to improved urinary flow and a decreased risk of stenosis? This has not been previously studied . The findings of our study could make an important contribution to improvements in the surgical treatment of boys born with hypospadias.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Does a modification of the standard TIP hypospadias operation which incorporates a skin graft into the reconstructed urethra result in improved urinary flow and a (presumed)decrease in the long term risk of stenosis?

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypospadias, run by The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Does a modification of the standard TIP hypospadias operation which incorporates a skin graft into the reconstructed urethra result in improved urinary flow and a (presumed)decrease in the long term risk of stenosis? (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Aug 2019.
