Length of Foley Catheter Use After Bulbar Urethroplasty
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies how long to leave a Foley catheter (a thin tube that drains urine) after surgery to repair a narrowed part of the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body). It is for men who are having their first bulbar urethroplasty for a stricture that is 7 cm or shorter.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a cis-male between 18 and 70 years old.
- Your narrowed urethra (stricture) is in the bulbar section (near the base of the penis).
- The stricture is 7 cm or shorter.
- This is your first time having this surgery (urethroplasty).
- You have a negative urine test (no infection).
- You have not had pelvic radiation, and your diabetes (if any) is well-controlled (HbA1c below 8%).

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 looks at whether the urinary (Foley) catheter can stay in place for a shorter time after certain pelvic operations. It aims to see if timing of catheter removal is safer and more comfortable, especially for bladder function.
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 different lengths of time for resting the ureter (with a drainage tube) before surgery to fix a narrowed ureter. It helps doctors find the best timing for better surgical outcomes.
This study looks at how long patients should keep a urinary catheter (a tube that drains urine) after having laser surgery to remove prostate tissue. Researchers want to understand what timing works best for patients who couldn't urinate before surgery.
This trial tests a new Foley catheter designed to be safer and more comfortable for people who need a urinary catheter for at least 3 days. It helps researchers see how well it works and if it causes any problems.
