Can doctors predict which stricture repairs will hold?
NCT ID NCT04357080
First seen Aug 12, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks back at 250 patients who had surgery to widen a narrowed urethra using a graft from the inside of the cheek. The goal is to identify factors that predict whether the narrowing will return. Researchers will review medical records from the past 10 years, focusing on patient details, surgery specifics, and follow-up results. The findings could help guide future treatment decisions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Urethroplasty using dorsal onlay buccal mucosal graft
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors identify patients at higher risk of stricture recurrence and tailor follow-up or treatment plans accordingly.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational review of past records, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be limited by incomplete data or changes in surgical techniques over the 10-year period.
