Urethral stricture is not just a medical word; it is an experience that touches daily life, often in uncomfortable and sometimes frustrating ways. For many patients, it begins with something small, such as slower urine flow, difficulty passing urine, pain or incomplete emptying. Over time, what seems minor develops into repeated infections, retention, and even kidney problems if ignored. The causes vary, such as old untreated injuries, past surgeries, and certain infections, and each story is different. At Manipal Clinics in Sarjapur, patients find all techniques of urethroplasty available, so no matter the complexity, there is a matching solution.
The evaluation begins with scans, flow checks, and investigations like a urethrogram and cystoscopy. These reveal the exact length and site of narrowing. If the stricture is very short, endoscopic urethrotomy often works, where surgeons create an opening internally to re-establish smooth flow. But long and stubborn strictures require more advanced methods. Surgeons frequently use oral mucosa grafts, taken delicately from the cheek, stitched carefully to rebuild the urethral path. In cases of heavy scarring or multiple failed attempts, surgeries may be staged over phases, giving the body time to heal properly before final reconstruction.
Key aspects include:
A customised procedure based on investigation results.
Honest discussion with patients about what to expect, both immediately and in the years ahead.
Meticulous aftercare, catheter support, infection prevention steps, and close monitoring.
