An interventional study of Caudal Block Anesthesia and Dorsal Penile Block Anesthesia in Hypospadias and Hypospadias, Coronal, sponsored by Ahmed Aouf. Completed at 1 site in Egypt. Open to male participants aged 1 Year to 6 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-08-14.
Sponsored by Ahmed Aouf · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The study focuses on comparing the caudal block (CB) and the dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB) via ultrasound guidance in regional anesthesia in hypospadias surgery.
131 studies on the registry are indexed under Hypospadias; 34 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 62 is close to the median of 68 across 102 interventional studies indexed under Hypospadias.

Exclusion Criteria:
Patients that had regional anesthesia using dorsal penile nerve block
Procedure: Dorsal Penile Block Anesthesia
Patients that had regional anesthesia using caudal epidural block
Procedure: Caudal Block Anesthesia
Patients were positioned laterally for the procedure. The ultrasound transducer was first positioned transversely at the midline to visualize the sacral cornua, sacrococcygeal ligament, sacral bone, and sacral hiatus in a transverse view. It was then rotated 90° to obtain a longitudinal view of the sacrococcygeal ligament and sacral hiatus. A 22G, 50 mm needle was inserted caudal to cranial into the sacral canal under direct real-time longitudinal ultrasound guidance
With the patient in a supine position, using aseptic precautions, a linear probe (6-13 MHz) was placed transversely at the root of the penis. The penis was held under gentle traction, and key anatomical structures, including the corpus cavernosum, corpus spongiosum, dorsal artery and vein, Buck's fascia, and tunica albuginea, were identified in the transverse plane
Time to first rescue analgesia in hours
The time interval (measured in hours) from a specific starting point until the patient requires their first dose of additional pain medication (the "rescue" dose).
Time frame: From surgery time to the next day after surgery.
Intraoperative Fentanyl dose
Time frame: During the operations
Plan to share: No
