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 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.
This trial compares general anesthesia versus spinal anesthesia with local numbing medicine for penis skin graft surgery. It aims to see which method works better for pain control and recovery.
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 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 compares two ways to do a gum graft to increase the width of attached gum in the lower front teeth area. It tests a newer method where the graft is not covered versus the traditional covered method.
