New surgery for nearly closed bulbar urethra stricture
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a new surgical method to repair a nearly closed bulbar urethral stricture (a narrowed part of the urine tube in the penis). This special technique uses tissue from the inside of your cheek to widen the tight spot.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your stricture is in the bulbar part of the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the penis).
- Your stricture was not caused by an injury or trauma.
- This is your first time having surgery for this stricture.
- The narrowest part of the stricture must be less than 1.5 cm long.
- The stricture is nearly closed but not completely blocked.

This trial compares using skin from your penis versus tissue from inside your cheek to fix a long, tight scar in the front portion of your urinary tube (urethra). It may help if you have this scar and past attempts to widen the tube have failed.
This trial compares using a graft from the mouth or lip to treat a narrowed urethra in women. It aims to find which approach works better for improving urinary flow.
This trial studies using a graft taken from the inside of the cheek (buccal mucosal tissue) to repair a blockage in the upper part of the ureter or near the kidney (ureteropelvic junction). It may help people whose narrowing can’t be fixed with a simpler stitch technique.
This study compares two surgical techniques to repair a short (2 cm or less) narrowing in the bulbar urethra. It aims to see which method works better for men with non-traumatic strictures.
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 compares doing a graft in the first versus the second step of a two-stage urethral repair in men with a penile urethral narrowing. It uses oral lining tissue as the graft and aims to see which timing approach works best for healing and function.
