About Dilatation of Stricture Urethra under GA

Dilatation of Stricture Urethra under General Anesthesia (GA) is a specialized urological procedure performed to widen a narrowed or blocked section of the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. A urethral stricture is a scar tissue formation that constricts the urethral lumen, leading to symptoms like a weak urine stream, straining, pain, and recurrent infections. Under GA, the urologist gently inserts progressively larger, smooth, tapered instruments (dilators) or a balloon catheter through the urethra to stretch the narrowed segment. This minimally invasive treatment aims to restore normal urinary flow, relieve symptoms, and improve quality of life. It is often considered for short, non-complex strictures and may be part of a staged treatment plan.

Key Highlights
