Urethral surgery involves procedures aimed at treating conditions affecting the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. Common reasons for this surgery include strictures (narrowing of the urethra), trauma, or congenital abnormalities. The surgery can help restore normal urine flow and alleviate symptoms such as pain or difficulty urinating. The surgery can be performed using various techniques, including endoscopic methods, which are minimally invasive, or open surgery for more complex cases. Recovery time varies depending on the procedure, but patients are typically monitored for complications such as infection or bleeding.
