Urethroplasty surgically repairs a urethral stricture, a narrowing of the urethra that restricts urine flow, usually caused by scarring from injury, infection, or prior procedures. By removing or reconstructing the narrowed segment, urethroplasty offers a long-term solution with higher success rates than repeated dilation procedures.
Urethroplasty is recommended for urethral strictures that recur despite dilation or other minor procedures, or for longer, more complex strictures where a definitive surgical repair offers better long-term results.
