ClinConnect Summary

The Urethral Stricture Database trial is a clinical study aimed at understanding urethral strictures, which are narrowings in the urethra that can cause difficulties with urination. This trial is currently recruiting male patients aged between 65 and 74 who are about to undergo specific surgical procedures related to urethral strictures. These procedures can include various types of surgeries like internal urethrotomy, where a small camera is used to cut the stricture, or surgeries that use grafts from other tissues to repair the urethra.

If eligible, participants can expect to be part of a long-term study that will collect information about their treatment and recovery. This data will help researchers learn more about the best ways to treat urethral strictures in the future. It's important to note that individuals who are unable to give consent for participation will not be included in the study. This research aims to improve outcomes for those facing these types of urinary issues.
