Battle of the knives: which surgery wins for narrowed urethra?
NCT ID NCT07668973
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two surgical methods to repair a short (up to 2 cm) narrowing in the bulbar urethra. One technique removes the scarred section and reconnects healthy ends; the other uses a graft from the lining of the testicle to widen the stricture. 94 men aged 18-50 with non-traumatic strictures will be randomly assigned to one surgery and followed for 12 months to see which has fewer recurrences and complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
surgical procedure (excision and primary anastomosis urethroplasty or tunica vaginalis graft urethroplasty)
What this could lead to
If successful, this trial could show that one surgical technique is better than the other for treating short bulbar urethral strictures, potentially reducing recurrence and complications.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center trial that has not yet started recruiting. Results may not apply to all patients, and both surgeries carry risks like infection, graft failure, or erectile dysfunction.
