What Is Urethral Stricture?

​

A urethral stricture is a narrowing of the urethra caused by scar tissue formation. This condition restricts urine flow and may lead to:

• Difficulty in urination

• Weak urine stream

• Recurrent urinary infections

• Pain or discomfort

• Incomplete bladder emptying
   

When untreated, urethral strictures can worsen and significantly impact kidney and bladder health. This is why expert evaluation by the Best Urologist in HSR Layout Bengaluru is essential.

What Is Urethroplasty?

​

Urethroplasty is a reconstructive surgery where the surgeon removes or repairs the scarred portion of the urethra. Depending on the severity, the procedure may involve:

• Removing the narrowed segment

• Reconnecting healthy ends (excision & primary anastomosis)

• Using tissue grafts (buccal mucosa) to rebuild the urethra

• Repairing the urethra with advanced reconstructive techniques

Urethroplasty is considered the gold standard treatment for urethral strictures, offering higher success rates compared to repeated dilatations or endoscopic procedures.
