This study collects information from patients who have had surgery for a urethral stricture, which is a narrowing in the tube that carries urine out of the body. Being part of this study helps doctors learn more about different surgical treatments and their outcomes.
This study is testing a new ultrasound measurement called the Urethral Resistive Index (URI) to see if it can accurately diagnose urethral stricture (a narrowing in the tube that carries urine out of the body). The goal is to find a less invasive way to diagnose blockages without needing a scope.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to repair a narrow part of the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body). It aims to find which surgery gives better results for patients with a short (2 cm or less) stricture in the bulbar section, located behind the scrotum.
This early study tests whether an engineered urethral patch made from your own body tissue is safe and workable for urethral strictures (narrowing that blocks urine flow). It is mainly looking for safety and how feasible the procedure and follow-up are, not proven cure yet.
This study compares two ways of removing hair before surgery for a narrowed urethra, to see which one reduces infections better. If you're a man having this surgery, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a drug-coated balloon to open a narrowed part of the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body) in men who have not had this problem before. The balloon releases a medicine to help keep the area open.
