ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at two different surgical methods for treating men who have a specific type of injury to the urethra caused by pelvic fractures, known as pelvic fracture urethral injury (PFUI). One method is the traditional repair, which involves some complex steps that can sometimes lead to problems with blood flow to the urethra. The other method is a newer technique that aims to preserve the blood vessels during the repair, which may help improve recovery and function after surgery. The goal of this study is to see if the vessel-sparing technique is more effective than the conventional repair method.

To participate in this trial, men aged 18 and older with PFUI may be eligible, but those with previous surgeries or recurrent cases will not qualify. Participants can expect to undergo one of the two surgical techniques and will be monitored to see how well they recover and if there are any differences in outcomes between the two methods. This study is still in the planning stages and has not yet started recruiting participants.
