Foreskin graft for complex ureter repair
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests using a piece of your foreskin to repair a complex narrowing in your ureter (the tube between your kidney and bladder). It's for men who cannot have standard surgery and have extra foreskin available.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man age 18 or older.
- You have a complex, narrow ureter (urine tube from kidney to bladder) that cannot be fixed with standard surgeries.
- You are healthy enough to have laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.
- You have enough foreskin available to use as a graft for repair.
- You can make your own decisions and agree to join the study.

This early study tests whether an engineered urethral patch made from your own body tissue is safe and workable for urethral strictures (narrowing that blocks urine flow). It is mainly looking for safety and how feasible the procedure and follow-up are, not proven cure yet.
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 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 two surgical techniques to correct severe penile curvature caused by Peyronie's disease. It tests which approach works better for men with advanced or complex cases.
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 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.
