In urethral stricture, there is a narrowing of the urethra (the tube through which urine is passed out from the bladder).

The patient is taken to the operation theatre and the spinal anesthesia is given. After this, a cystoscope/urethrotome is inserted in the urethra and the stricture is assessed with a camera. The tissues blocking the flow of urine in the urethra are visualized and then removed with the help of a Thulium laser instead of a knife. After that, a catheter is placed to ensure the good flow of urine, and the patient is sent to the recovery room. The patient is discharged on the same day after removing the catheter and normal voiding of urine.
