About the Procedure
What is Urethroplasty for urethral stricture?
Urethroplasty is a reconstructive surgery performed to repair a narrowed segment (stricture) of the urethra that is causing obstructed urine flow, recurrent infections, or urinary retention. Depending on the length and location of the stricture, surgeons either remove the narrowed segment and rejoin healthy urethra, or widen it using a graft of tissue (commonly from the inner cheek). It is considered the most durable, long-term solution for urethral stricture compared to repeated dilations or endoscopic procedures.
Who may be considered?
Urethroplasty for urethral stricture may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
The narrowed, scarred segment of the urethra (usually short, bulbar strictures) is surgically removed and the two healthy ends are rejoined directly, offering the highest long-term success rates.
3 approaches available for this procedure:
Excision and Primary Anastomosis (EPA) Urethroplasty
Most PopularThe narrowed, scarred segment of the urethra (usually short, bulbar strictures) is surgically removed and the two healthy ends are rejoined directly, offering the highest long-term success rates.
Comprehensive Investigations
Estimated cost: $200 - $600
Retrograde urethrogram (RGU), voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG), uroflowmetry, urine culture, CBC, kidney function tests, ECG
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Estimated cost in India: $3,500 - $5,500
Stay in India
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~1-2 days
Hospitalisation: ~3-4 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~14-21 days recommended
Total stay: approx 18-25 days
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Surgeon and anesthetist fees
- Operation theatre and hospital stay charges
- Standard room accommodation
- Urinary catheter placement and initial dressing
- Post-op medications during hospital stay
Usually Not Included
- Pre-procedure imaging done outside the hospital
- International flights and visa costs
- Post-discharge medications and catheter care supplies
- Follow-up uroflowmetry/imaging after 4-6 weeks
- Accommodation for attendant/companion
Recovery and follow-up
Patients typically go home with a urinary catheter for 2-3 weeks, followed by a voiding trial and follow-up urethrogram or uroflowmetry to confirm healing before returning home; strenuous activity and sexual intercourse should be avoided for 4-6 weeks.
Risks
Possible risks include stricture recurrence, urinary infection, bleeding, temporary erectile or ejaculatory changes, and graft-site discomfort (in buccal mucosa cases); overall success rates for urethroplasty are high (85-95%) at experienced centers.
Alternatives
Less invasive options such as urethral dilation or direct visual internal urethrotomy (DVIU) may be tried first for short, simple strictures, though they carry higher recurrence rates compared to urethroplasty; permanent urinary diversion or suprapubic catheter is reserved for select complex or unfit-for-surgery cases.
What we need to prepare a formal estimate
Share whatever you have — the care team will confirm the final checklist after reviewing your case.
Reports required
- Retrograde urethrogram (RGU) and voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) reports/films
- Recent cystoscopy report if performed
- Uroflowmetry results
- Urine routine examination and culture report
- Kidney function tests (creatinine, urea)
- Prior surgical/procedure notes related to the urethra or prostate
- Recent CBC and coagulation profile
- ECG and cardiac fitness report if over 45 years or with cardiac history
Patient information needed
- Length, location, and cause of the urethral stricture (trauma, infection, catheterization, prior surgery)
- History of previous dilations, urethrotomies, or urethroplasty attempts
- Current urinary symptoms (weak stream, straining, retention, infections)
- Any known allergies, especially to anesthesia or latex
- Current medications, particularly blood thinners
- Smoking status and any oral health issues (relevant if buccal graft is planned)
- Comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, or cardiac conditions
- Availability of an attendant during hospital stay and travel plans
Costs shown are indicative planning estimates based on typical pricing across leading Indian hospitals. They are not a quote — actual pricing depends on your case complexity, hospital choice, and length of stay. Share your reports for a personalized estimate.

Common questions
FAQs about Urethroplasty for urethral stricture in India
What is Urethral stricture?
A urethral stricture is a pathological narrowing of the urethra caused by fibrotic scar tissue, which partially or completely obstructs the flow of urine from the bladder to the outside of the body.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Urethral stricture?
Common symptoms include a weak or slow urine stream, difficulty initiating urination, a sensation of incomplete bladder emptying, increased urinary frequency or urgency, and in some cases urinary retention or recurrent infections. Over time, obstructed flow can place strain on the bladder and kidneys, contributing to more serious complications if not addressed. It is important to note that these symptoms overlap with several other urological conditions, and symptoms alone are not sufficient to confirm a diagnosis.
How is Urethral stricture diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically begins with a detailed clinical history and flow-rate measurement (uroflowmetry), which can objectively quantify the degree of obstruction. Retrograde urethrogram (RUG) and/or voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) are the primary imaging studies used to identify the location, length, and density of the stricture — factors that directly guide treatment planning. In some cases, cystoscopy (direct visual inspection of the urethra) and ultrasound assessment of urethral anatomy are also used; the stricture's characteristics — particularly its length and location (bulbar, penile, or posterior urethra) — are central to determining the most appropriate management.
How is Urethral stricture treated?
Treatment options range from minimally invasive endoscopic procedures to open reconstructive surgery, and the most appropriate approach depends on the stricture's length, location, density, and the patient's history of prior treatment. For short, less fibrotic strictures, urethral dilation or direct vision internal urethrotomy (DVIU) may be performed, though recurrence rates with these techniques are well documented and depend heavily on stricture characteristics. For longer, recurrent, or complex strictures, urethroplasty — open surgical reconstruction of the urethra, sometimes using tissue grafts — offers significantly higher long-term success rates and is considered the gold-standard approach by most reconstructive urologists; individual outcomes depend on clinical factors assessed by a qualified specialist.
Can Urethral stricture be treated without a procedure?
Truly non-surgical management of a urethral stricture is limited: clean intermittent self-catheterisation (CISC) can maintain urinary drainage and may slow progression in selected patients who are not surgical candidates, but it does not resolve the underlying scarring. Urethral dilation — while minimally invasive — is a procedural intervention that provides temporary relief for many patients, with a high likelihood of recurrence requiring repeat treatment. There is currently no medication or lifestyle change proven to reverse urethral scar tissue, so patients whose symptoms are causing meaningful obstruction will generally require some form of procedural or surgical intervention, as determined by their treating urologist.
When is Urethroplasty for urethral stricture considered for Urethral stricture?
Urethroplasty for urethral stricture may be considered only when it is appropriate for the confirmed diagnosis and the expected benefit outweighs the individual risks. The decision may depend on symptom severity, investigation results, previous treatment, overall health and the patient's goals. A specialist should discuss alternatives and recovery before any procedure is planned.
Which doctor treats Urethral stricture?
Urethral strictures are evaluated and managed by a urologist, and complex or recurrent cases are best handled by a reconstructive urologist — a subspecialist with dedicated training in urethral and genital reconstructive surgery. In cases involving complications such as bladder dysfunction or upper tract involvement, a multidisciplinary team including a functional urologist or nephrologist may also be involved.
How do I choose a doctor for Urethral stricture?
When selecting a specialist, it is worth asking about their specific volume and experience with urethroplasty and other urethral reconstruction techniques, their access to tissue-grafting expertise, and whether their centre offers long-term follow-up with uroflowmetry and imaging to monitor for recurrence. Hospital affiliation, post-operative support, and clear communication about realistic success rates and the possibility of further treatment are also important factors to discuss.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a concise medical summary, symptom timeline, previous diagnoses, investigation and imaging reports, procedure or biopsy reports where relevant, current medicines, allergies and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translations when needed. The reviewing doctor may request additional information before giving an opinion.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team can review the initial information, help identify suitable doctors and hospitals, request a medical opinion where available, explain next steps and indicative cost information, and support practical planning before travel. A remote opinion does not replace an in-person examination or emergency care.
