A urethral stricture is a narrowing of the urethra caused by scar tissue, infection, inflammation, previous surgery, or injury. This condition can lead to painful urination, weak urine flow, urinary retention, and recurrent infections. Modern urology now offers advanced reconstructive procedures like Urethroplasty, which provide long-lasting relief, high success rates, and restored normal urinary function. Our specialized team evaluates each patient carefully through endoscopy, uroflowmetry, and imaging tests to identify the exact length, location, and severity of the stricture—allowing us to create a personalized treatment plan for the best outcome.
Our goal is to restore normal urine flow, prevent recurrence, and improve overall quality of life through the safest and most effective surgical options.
A urethral stricture is the narrowing of the urinary tube due to scar tissue. It may cause difficulty urinating, weak flow, frequent UTIs, or complete urine blockage. Early diagnosis prevents kidney and bladder complications.
Urethroplasty is a reconstructive surgical procedure that removes scarred tissue and rebuilds the urethra using nearby tissue or buccal mucosa (inner cheek lining).
Benefits include:
1. Long-term cure
2. Natural urine flow restoration
3. Minimal recurrence
4. Improved overall urinary function
It is the gold-standard treatment for medium to long strictures.
For short strictures, minimally invasive endoscopic procedures may be used to open the narrowed segment. However, urethroplasty provides a more durable and permanent solution, especially for long or recurrent strictures.

Strictures may follow trauma, catheterisation, infections, prior surgery or inflammatory conditions. They narrow the urethra and cause weak stream, spraying or recurrent UTIs.
Urethroplasty is reconstructive surgery to permanently widen or rebuild the narrowed urethral segment. It often offers better long-term success than repeated dilatations.
Evaluation includes history, flow study, urethral imaging (retrograde urethrogram/cystoscopy) and assessment of bladder function before planning definitive treatment.
Recurrence is possible depending on stricture length, location and prior interventions. Specialist urethroplasty by an experienced reconstructive urologist improves durable outcomes.
