Summary
This study tests a new surgical technique called double-face augmentation urethroplasty for men with severe, long urethral strictures (narrowing of the urine tube). The procedure uses a graft taken from the inside of the cheek (buccal mucosa) to widen the urethra from both sides. The study includes 30 participants and will measure success by how well urine flows after surgery.
