What Is Urethroplasty?

Urethroplasty is a specialized reconstructive surgery performed to treat urethral strictures. A urethral stricture is a narrowing of the urethra caused by scar tissue, making it difficult for urine to pass normally.

Unlike temporary procedures, urethroplasty surgery offers a durable and long-term solution, especially for recurrent or complex urethral strictures.

Common Symptoms of Urethral Stricture

You should consult a urologist if you experience:

  • Weak or slow urine stream
  • Difficulty starting urination
  • Frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
  • Pain or burning while urinating
  • Incomplete bladder emptying
  • Blood in urine
  • Urinary retention
  • Spraying of urine

Early diagnosis can help prevent complications such as bladder damage, recurrent infections, and kidney problems.

Causes of Urethral Stricture

A urethral stricture may develop due to:

  • Previous urinary catheterization
  • Urinary tract infections
  • Pelvic trauma or injury
  • Previous prostate or urinary surgery
  • Sexually transmitted infections
  • Inflammation of the urethra
  • Congenital abnormalities

Dr. Niren Rao performs a detailed evaluation to identify the exact cause before recommending the most appropriate treatment.

Urethral Stricture Treatment Options

The treatment depends on the length, location, and severity of the stricture.

Optical Internal Urethrotomy (OIU)

OIU is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure used for selected short urethral strictures. During the procedure, the scar tissue is carefully incised to widen the urethra.

Suitable for:

  • Short urethral strictures
  • First-time strictures
  • Selected uncomplicated cases

BMG Urethroplasty (Buccal Mucosal Graft Urethroplasty)

For long, recurrent, or complex strictures, BMG Urethroplasty is considered the gold standard treatment. A small graft is taken from the inner cheek (buccal mucosa) and used to reconstruct the narrowed segment of the urethra.

Benefits include:

  • High long-term success rates
  • Lower recurrence risk
  • Improved urinary flow
  • Durable reconstruction
  • Better quality of life

Why Choose Urethroplasty Over Repeated OIU?

While OIU may be effective for carefully selected patients, repeated endoscopic procedures often have a higher recurrence rate.

Urethroplasty offers:

  • Long-term correction
  • Higher success rates
  • Better urinary function
  • Reduced need for repeated surgeries
  • Improved patient satisfaction

Your treatment plan will depend on the findings from your clinical examination and diagnostic investigations.

Diagnosis Before Surgery

Before recommending urethroplasty surgery in Saket, Dr. Niren Rao may advise:

  • Clinical examination
  • Uroflowmetry
  • Ultrasound
  • Retrograde Urethrogram (RGU)
  • Micturating Cystourethrogram (MCU)
  • Cystoscopy (if required)
  • Urine analysis and culture

These investigations help determine the exact location and length of the urethral stricture.

Recovery After Urethroplasty

Most patients recover well after surgery with proper post-operative care.

Recovery typically includes:

  • Temporary urinary catheter placement
  • Follow-up imaging before catheter removal
  • Gradual return to daily activities
  • Regular follow-up visits
  • Monitoring urinary flow

Dr. Niren Rao provides detailed post-operative guidance to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal surgical outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is urethroplasty a permanent treatment?

Yes. Urethroplasty is considered the most effective long-term treatment for most urethral strictures, especially recurrent and complex cases.

What is the success rate of BMG urethroplasty?

BMG urethroplasty has excellent long-term success rates when performed by an experienced reconstructive urologist.

How long does recovery take?

Recovery varies depending on the procedure and the patient's overall health. Most patients can gradually resume normal activities after appropriate healing and follow-up.

Is OIU better than urethroplasty?

OIU is suitable for selected short strictures, while urethroplasty is generally recommended for recurrent, long, or complex strictures because it offers better long-term outcomes.
