Urethroplasty is open reconstructive surgery that repairs a narrowed urethra caused by scar tissue — a condition known as a urethral stricture. It is the most durable treatment available for urethral strictures, particularly those that are longer than two centimetres, located in the bulbar or penile urethra, or that have returned after simpler endoscopic procedures. Depending on the length and location of the stricture, the surgeon either removes the scarred segment and rejoins the healthy ends (excision and primary anastomosis) or widens the urethra using a tissue patch, most commonly taken from the lining inside the cheek (buccal mucosal graft). The procedure is performed under general or regional anaesthesia and typically takes two to four hours. Most patients spend three to five days in hospital and wear a urinary catheter for two to three weeks while the repair heals, before gradually returning to normal activities over four to six weeks.
The scarred segment is completely removed and the two healthy urethral ends are stitched directly together — no graft tissue required.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: Retrograde urethrogram (RUG), Voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG), Uroflowmetry, Post-void residual ultrasound, Ultrasound of kidneys and bladder, Urine culture and sensitivity, CBC, ECG. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $5,500 – $7,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~4 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~12 days recommended
Total stay: approx 18 days
The narrowed urethra is opened and widened using a tissue patch harvested from the inner lining of the cheek, allowing longer strictures to be repaired without shortening the urethra.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: Retrograde urethrogram (RUG), Voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG), Uroflowmetry, Post-void residual ultrasound, Ultrasound of kidneys and bladder, Urine culture and sensitivity, CBC, ECG. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $6,000 – $8,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~5 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~15 days recommended
Total stay: approx 22 days
A flap of nearby penile or foreskin tissue, carrying its own blood supply, is rotated into position to reconstruct the urethra — preferred for longer penile strictures or previously operated areas.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: Retrograde urethrogram (RUG), Voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG), Uroflowmetry, Post-void residual ultrasound, Ultrasound of kidneys and bladder, Urine culture and sensitivity, CBC, ECG. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $6,500 – $8,500
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~5 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~15 days recommended
Total stay: approx 22 days
A two-stage reconstruction for very long or severely scarred strictures: the first stage lays a graft to mature, and the second stage (months later) closes the new urethra into a tube.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: Retrograde urethrogram (RUG), Voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG), Uroflowmetry, Post-void residual ultrasound, Ultrasound of kidneys and bladder, Urine culture and sensitivity, CBC, ECG. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $7,500 – $9,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
