What is Urethroplasty?
Urethroplasty involves excision of scarred or narrowed urethral segments and reconstruction using various techniques, including tissue grafts, flaps, or primary repair, depending on the location and length of the stricture. This surgery is the definitive treatment for long or recurrent strictures that are unsuitable for simpler procedures like dilation or internal urethrotomy.
Why is Urethroplasty Performed?
- To treat urethral strictures causing urinary obstruction and recurrent infections
- To restore urethral integrity after trauma or previous surgery
- To improve quality of life by resolving symptoms like weak stream, urinary retention, or urinary tract infections
- When less invasive treatments have failed or are inappropriate
Types of Urethroplasty
- Excision and primary anastomosis (EPA) for short strictures
