Urethroplasty: Removing Scar Tissue from the Urethra

If a traumatic injury or sexually transmitted disease creates scar tissue in the urine channel, it can block urine flow. A procedure called urethroplasty removes the scar tissue so that urine can pass through again. Urologist Nicolas Ortiz, MD, explains the procedure and the recovery process.

Patients are able to undergo reconstruction and go home the same day. They usually do have a catheter that needs to stay in for a few weeks. But after this, they usually have a high success rate and they're able to void on their own. Urethroplasty, depending on whether we just do a removal of the scar versus the use of a graft to reconstruct the urethra, can take as little as 90 minutes and sometimes it can take up to four or five hours in the more complex cases. Recovery from urethroplasty usually takes three to four weeks. They usually get to go home the same day after surgery. The pain is generally well controlled. Most of the time they return to our clinic and we remove the catheter after doing an imaging test to ensure that the area has healed. And after that, the catheter comes out and they have generally no other restrictions.
