Urethral Stricture & Penile Surgery in Delhi
Reconstructive urology restores normal function where it has been damaged — a scarred, narrowed urethra that obstructs the flow of urine, or a penile condition such as curvature from Peyronie’s disease. At Sama Hospital — a NABH-accredited, doctor-owned hospital in South Delhi — these are treated with techniques chosen for a durable result. This is functional, reconstructive surgery, and it is entirely distinct from cosmetic procedures.
Urethral Stricture
A urethral stricture is a narrowing of the urethra — the tube carrying urine out — caused by scarring from previous infection, injury or instrumentation. It obstructs flow, and it tends to tighten over time rather than resolve.
Symptoms of a Stricture
- A weak, spraying or split urinary stream
- Straining to pass urine, and a feeling of incomplete emptying
- Recurrent urinary infections
- In severe cases, an inability to pass urine at all — a urological emergency
Getting the Repair Right the First Time
This is the key decision, because it determines whether the stricture stays cured.
A quick endoscopic incision or dilatation is simple and useful for some strictures — but many recur, and repeated dilatations for a stricture that keeps coming back are a sign that a more definitive repair is needed.
A urethroplasty — open reconstruction, often using a graft of the patient’s own tissue — is more involved, but offers a far more durable, frequently permanent cure for suitable strictures. Choosing the right operation for the right stricture is what avoids a cycle of repeat procedures.
Penile Reconstructive Surgery
Peyronie’s disease — scar tissue causing the penis to curve, sometimes painfully — is the commonest penile condition treated here. Many mild cases stabilise or are managed without surgery; surgery is reserved for a significant, stable curvature that interferes with function. Injuries such as penile fracture are also repaired.
To be clear: this is reconstructive and functional surgery. It is not cosmetic penile enlargement, which is a different matter entirely and which we do not present as medical treatment.
Recovery
Recovery depends on the procedure. After urethral reconstruction a catheter is usually needed for a period to allow healing, after which normal urination is restored. Your surgeon will give you a clear, specific recovery plan for your operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a urethral stricture?
A narrowing of the urethra from scarring, causing a weak stream, straining, incomplete emptying and recurrent infections. It tends to worsen and does not resolve on its own.
Can it be cured permanently?
It can — but a quick dilatation often recurs, while a urethroplasty (open reconstruction, often with a graft) offers a far more durable cure for suitable strictures. Repeated dilatations are a sign reconstruction should be considered.
What is Peyronie’s disease?
Scar tissue causing the penis to curve, sometimes painfully. Mild cases may need no surgery; surgery is for a significant, stable curvature that interferes with function — a reconstructive, not cosmetic, procedure.
Is this cosmetic surgery?
No. This is functional, reconstructive urology — restoring urination and correcting conditions that impair function. It is distinct from cosmetic penile procedures.
What if a stricture is left untreated?
It tends to tighten further, causing recurrent infections and, in severe cases, affecting the bladder and kidneys or leading to complete inability to pass urine — an emergency. It should be assessed rather than lived with.
