Brief Summary

SURF is a randomised controlled, parallel group, single blind phase II study designed to assess the safety and potential efficacy of an innovative therapeutic strategy for urethral stenosis based on adjuvant injection of autologous Adipose-Derived Stromal Vascular Fraction of Adipose Tissue (ADSVF) during endoscopic urethrotomy (standard care).
