Urethroplasty

[Raj456]

Hi,
I have a urethral stricture of about 4-5 centimeter long.
Doctors suggested me a Urethroplasty where they would replace tissue from my mouth.
Since i have never had any surgery done, i am worried about the risk involved and the success rate (especially in my case as they told me my stricuture is relatively longer).
Any suggestions.
Thanks
Raj

Hi, who did you see in Bristol, my 19 year old son has his urethroplasty booked in for 10 days time, we have been referred from Devon to Mr Dickerson who operates out of Bristol and Weston Super mare and I must admit he can be a little abrupt! I hope yr partner is now sorted a year later???

hi deetosca,did you go for surgery?

Hi Zoltan, I hope you can put my partners mind at rest, he needs this op, we are in Bristol and my partner has been having urethral stetches for the last 10 years, he was blocked from getting a second opinion for Urethroplasty in 2006 by his urologist because the surgeon said it couldn't be done, we saw a different specialist today who was to say the least, hostile and aggressive, made us feel very uncomfortable and we couldn't get out of his office fast enough, only shame is we have to pay for his time as it was a private consultation, we have read your posts and are thinking of seeing Mr Watkins,is he friendly and approachable, any help would be very welcome.  Thanks.

Hello,
I just had a buccal mucosa urethroplasty done on February 26. I have not had much pain but have not had an erection since the surgery. Prior to the surgery the doctor told me he thought the stricture was 2cm but after the surgery I found out it was 3 cm. I have looked for numerous articles for long term success for this procedure but I have not found anything. To me long term is 20 years not 3 to 5 years. Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated. I hope I have made the right choice in having this procedure done.
