Urethral Stricture Surgery

Urethral Stricture Surgery

A urethral stricture is a narrowing of the urethra — the tube that carries urine out of the body. This narrowing can make it difficult to urinate and may cause discomfort, infections, or other urinary problems. It can happen due to injury, infection, previous surgeries, or sometimes without a clear cause.

Understanding the Problem

When the urethra becomes narrow, the flow of urine is restricted. This can lead to symptoms such as:

• Weak or slow urine stream

• Straining to urinate

• Incomplete emptying of the bladder

• Pain or burning sensation when urinating

• Frequent urinary tract infections

If left untreated, a stricture can cause bladder damage or kidney problems.

Treatment Options

Our clinic provides both minimally invasive and surgical solutions, depending on the severity and location of the stricture:

• Endoscopic surgery – using a thin scope to open the narrowing from inside.

  We also offer using your own buccal mucosa to grow stem cells and implanting those stem cells in opened area to help it regrow with new epithelium and thus restoring normal urethra.

  Optical internal urethrotomy involves incising small segment urethral strictures and widening them. 

• Urethroplasty – reconstructing or replacing the narrowed section of the urethra for long-term results. Variety of treatment options are offered including end to end anastomosis; buccal mucosa urethroplasty and even more complex repairs including trans pubectomy anastomosis.

• Optilume– This cutting edge newer treatment involves dilating a balloon at the strictured segment and deposition of paclitaxel into the urethral tissue. This prevents fibrosis and recurrence of stricture.

• Post-surgery care to prevent recurrence and ensure healthy healing
