Summary

This trial is testing a new, minimally-invasive treatment for urethral strictures (narrowing of the urethra). The current standard of care is either endoscopic urethrotomy (DVIU) or open reconstruction (urethroplasty), both of which have drawbacks. This trial is testing whether a new technique using a combination of existing surgical techniques, augmented by a buccal mucosal graft, is feasible and effective.
