A person may need to undergo urethroplasty surgery if they need to repair injuries and defects that are in the urethra or else in urethral strictures. Urethral strictures are a condition that is caused by many issues like infections, trauma, hypospadias, dermatologic diseases and iatrogenic treatment. Patients who have been through accidents or have suffered pelvic injuries may also need urethroplasty surgery. Also, if a person is experiencing scarred tissue in their urinary channels that leads to slow urine flow, blocked urine issues and struggles with discomfort, then urethroplasty surgery in Delhi is recommended. People experience scar formation because of the BXO, i.e, Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans, which affects the male reproductive organ.

There are mainly two types of Urthoplasty in Delhi at Dr Niren Rao’s Urology Clinic:
This is the type of Urethroplasty in which the damaged portion or part of the urethra is removed, and the remaining healthy parts are connected together with sutures. The treatment is recommended by the urologist for urethral strictures caused by infection, injury,or many other medical procedures. The procedure involves the removal of damaged parts of the urethra and connecting the healthy parts on both sides. The procedure has high success rates of about 80 percent and also involves some complications like infection, urinary leakage, stricture recurrence etc.
It is another surgical procedure in which the tissue is used to reconstruct or repair a damaged urethra, and the tissue is taken from the inner lining of the cheek, also termed buccal mucosa. This tissue graft replaces the damaged urethral tissue and is used either as a patch or to create an entire new urethral tube. It has high success rates in repairing urethral strictures, but also includes complications like graft complications and intraoral complications.
Which one is the best type of urethroplasty for you depends upon many factors that are taken into consideration by the surgeon to make a well-informed decision. The factors are :

In this procedure, the scarred or diseased portion of the urethra is removed, and the remaining portions of the urethra are joined together by fine sutures. This treatment is for short strictures that have bulbar urethra (a segment of the urethra present inside the scrotum and end up to the prostate), and a part of the scarred urethra is removed completely. Then the two cut ends of the urethra are joined together. Removal of a short segment of the urethra and joining of the ends together gives excellent results that show the best durable results. End to end urethroplasty cannot be performed for the penile urethra or long strictures of the bulbar urethra due to the high tension produced between two ends during their joining. This will lead to surgical failure as well as curvature and shortening of penile. The cost of end-to-end urethroplasty at our practice starts at Rs. 60000.
In buccal mucosal graft i.e. bmg urethroplasty, the size of the narrow urethra is enlarged by patching grafts rather than a complete replacement. In this procedure, mucosal tissue from cheeks (lining of the mouth) of the patient is used for the formation of the new urethra. A graft from the mouth termed as a buccal graft that is a wet and pliable tissue is used as an excellent substitute for the urethra. Management of most bulbar urethral strictures is done by buccal repair due to its ease of technical performance, high success rate, and reliability. Pain is minor in this procedure, and the results are excellent. The cost of buccal substitution urethroplasty at Dr. Niren Rao’s Urology Practice starts at Rs. 75000.
