Urethral Stricture Surgery

Urethral stricture is a narrowing of the urethra. Your urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder through the penis and out the urethral meatus during urination. Many men with a stricture will have increasing discomfort with urinating and a slowing of the urinary stream. This can develop gradually and lead to pushing or straining to get urine out. In others, the problem will show up suddenly and without prior difficulty, requiring immediate care. Urethral strictures are many a times treatable via endoscopic incision free surgery, but when long or complicated strictures are encountered, they may require open surgery.
