New surgery for treating a ring-shaped pocket near the urethra
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new surgical method to fix a specific type of urethral diverticulum (a pocket that forms around the tube you urinate from). The surgery aims to close the pocket and strengthen the wall, which may help relieve symptoms and prevent problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a repair approach done through the vagina to fix a specific problem in the uterine scar from a prior C-section. It’s meant for people who have ongoing, long menstrual bleeding after C-section when medicines haven’t helped and other causes have been ruled out.
This study compares repairing or not repairing a scar defect (a small pocket in the uterine wall) found in women having a second or third c-section. It aims to see if repair helps reduce future complications.
This study looks at whether “insertable cups” are helpful and acceptable for treating obstetric vaginal fistula (a hole between the birth canal and urinary tract). The trial checks if the device can close the problem and whether participants feel it’s safe and practical to use.
This trial compares two laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery methods to fix a uterovesical fistula, which is an abnormal opening between the bladder and uterus that can happen after C-section or other pelvic surgery. The goal is to see which method works best.
This trial tests whether one type of vaginal wall repair works better than another surgery for women with vaginal bulging (anterior prolapse). It may help find the safest and most effective operation to reduce symptoms.
This trial looks at an endoscopic (camera-based) procedure to help symptoms from Zenker’s diverticulum, which is a swallowing-related pouch. If you have symptoms and you’re not pregnant or breastfeeding, this study may be worth considering.
