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 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 trial tests using a small piece of tissue from the inside of your cheek to widen a narrowed part of the tube that carries urine from your kidney to your bladder. This may help restore normal urine flow and avoid more invasive surgery.
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 looks at a surgical procedure (urethroplasty) for a condition where the urethra becomes narrowed (urethral stricture). If you join, you will be asked to consent to take part and follow the study rules.
