Treatment of Urethral Strictures in Delhi
Treatment of Urethral strictures depends upon the extent, severity, and length of strictures –
- Non-surgical treatment of Urethral Stricture
- Dilation of Stricture – The non-surgical treatment of urethral strictures is the preferred treatment method. A wire-like dilating device is inserted inside the urethra to dilate the urethral opening thereby treating the stricture. This is mostly an outpatient procedure.
- Catheterization – The catheter is inserted into the urethra to drain urine if it is blocked. It is a temporary treatment and the proper treatment of urethral stricture is performed.
- Surgical Treatment for urethral Stricture
Surgery is performed only in those cases which fail to get treated by the non-surgical methods.
- Laser Urethrotomy – In laser urethrotomy a surgical knife is passed through the cystoscope. In this procedure, the stricture is removed with the laser. It is an outpatient procedure and the patient can go home the same day. This approach has faster recovery, minimum scarring, and fewer chances of skin infection as well.
- Laser OIU – If the urethral stricture is less than 1 cm long then laser OIU or optical urethrotomy is the best treatment for it. In Laser OIU treatment, a cystoscope is placed inside the urethra and the tissues that are blocking the urine path are removed. This procedure provides excellent results in small/short strictures. Dr. Vineet Malhotra is the best Urethral Stricture Doctor in Delhi by Laser OIU. Laser OIU is one of the latest treatments with great results as its healing rates are high and the patient can go home the same day after the procedure.
- Urethroplasty – In this surgery, the affected part is removed and then replaced by healthy tissue. In urethroplasty, the constricted part of the urethra is removed and healthy ends are attached. Urethroplasty offers great results, a good patient satisfaction rate, and long-term benefits.
