Lab-Grown collagen patch may replace mouth tissue for urethra repair
NCT ID NCT05463991
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested a bioengineered collagen scaffold as a substitute for the traditional mouth-tissue graft used in urethral stricture repair. Five adult men with a short urethral stricture (less than 3 cm) received the implant. The main goal was to see if the urethra stayed open after surgery, and the study also tracked urinary symptoms and flow.
