FOX CHASE-TEMPLE UROLOGIC INSTITUTE
URETHRAL STRICTURE & RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY
Nationally recognized surgeons who repair complex urinary problems, including cases other centers turn away.
A urethral stricture is scar tissue that narrows or blocks the flow of urine. It can make urinating slow, painful, or, over time, nearly impossible, and temporary fixes often let the problem come back. Temple’s reconstructive urologists are among the most experienced in the country at urethroplasty, the surgical repair that addresses the stricture at its source rather than simply stretching it open. We regularly take on complex cases and revision surgeries that other practices turn away. If you have been told nothing more can be done, ask us for a second opinion. Request an appointment to have your case reviewed by a specialist.

WHAT CAUSES A URETHRAL STRICTURE?
Injury, infection, prior surgery, or long-term catheter use can all cause scar tissue to form in the urethra.
CAN A STRICTURE COME BACK AFTER DILATION?
Yes. Dilation often gives only short-term relief. Surgical repair (urethroplasty) offers a lasting fix for most patients.
