Preparing for the Procedure Before the urethral reconstruction procedure, the patient will typically receive general anesthesia to prevent pain and discomfort during the procedure. The surgeon will also clean the surgical site and may place a catheter into the patient’s bladder to drain urine during the procedure.

  1. Accessing the Urethra The surgeon will make an incision in the area around the urethra to gain access to the damaged or obstructed section. The length and location of the incision will depend on the location of the urethral injury or obstruction.
  2. Removing Damaged Tissue Using surgical tools, the surgeon will carefully remove any damaged or obstructed tissue from the urethra. This may involve cutting away scar tissue, removing a stricture (narrowing of the urethra), or excising a section of the urethra that has been damaged due to trauma or injury.
  3. Reconstructing the Urethra Once the damaged tissue has been removed, the surgeon will reconstruct the urethra using healthy tissue from the patient’s own body. This may involve taking tissue from the lining of the cheek or mouth (buccal mucosa) or using skin or tissue from another part of the body.

The reconstructed urethra may be created using a variety of techniques, including:

  • End-to-end anastomosis: This involves connecting the two healthy ends of the urethra after the damaged section has been removed.
  • Buccal mucosa graft: This involves using tissue from the lining of the cheek to create a patch for the damaged section of the urethra.

Skin graft: This involves using skin from another part of the body to create a patch for the damaged section of the urethra.

5. Closing the Incision Once the urethral reconstruction is complete, the surgeon will close the incision using stitches or surgical staples. A catheter may also be placed in the bladder to help drain urine during the initial healing period.

6. Recovery After the procedure, the patient will be monitored in the hospital for a few days to ensure proper healing and to manage pain. The catheter will typically remain in place for several days after the procedure, and the patient will need to avoid strenuous activity and sexual intercourse for several weeks while the urethra heals. Follow-up appointments with the surgeon will be necessary to monitor the patient’s progress and to remove the catheter when appropriate.
