About Ureteric Meatotomy

Ureteric meatotomy is a precise, minimally invasive surgical procedure performed by a urologist to treat a narrowed or obstructed ureteral orifice (the opening where the ureter enters the bladder). This condition, known as ureteral meatal stenosis, can impede urine flow from the kidney to the bladder, leading to pain, recurrent infections, and potential kidney damage. The procedure involves making a small, controlled incision to widen the opening, typically using a cystoscope inserted through the urethra. This restores normal urinary drainage, alleviates symptoms, and helps preserve kidney function. It is often performed under general or spinal anesthesia and is associated with a quick recovery and minimal discomfort.

Key Highlights

Minimally invasive procedure with no external incisions.Effectively restores normal urine flow from the kidney to the bladder.Performed endoscopically, leading to less post-operative pain and scarring.Typically a short procedure with a relatively quick recovery time.Helps prevent recurrent urinary tract infections and potential kidney damage.

Who is this surgery for?

Ureteral meatal stenosis (narrowing of the ureter's opening into the bladder).
Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) due to poor drainage.
Flank or abdominal pain caused by urinary obstruction.
Hydronephrosis (swelling of a kidney due to urine backup).
Kidney stones that are difficult to pass due to a narrow orifice.
Persistent symptoms despite conservative management.

How to prepare

Complete a pre-operative medical evaluation and review of medical history.
Undergo necessary diagnostic tests, such as a urine test, ultrasound, or CT scan.
Discuss all current medications with the urologist; some (like blood thinners) may need to be paused.
Fast for 6-8 hours before the procedure if general anesthesia is planned.
Arrange for transportation home post-procedure, as you will not be able to drive.

Risks & possible complications

Bleeding from the incision site.
Infection, including urinary tract infection.
Scar tissue formation leading to re-narrowing (restenosis).
Injury to surrounding structures like the bladder or ureter.
Rarely, vesicoureteral reflux (backflow of urine from bladder to kidney).
