Urethral meatal stricture is a narrowing localised to the external urethral opening. In female patients, this specific anatomical variant is distinct from strictures elsewhere in the urethra and calls for a targeted surgical approach.
This protocol is for female patients with a confirmed urethral meatal stricture — obstruction at the level of the urethral meatus rather than the mid- or proximal urethra.
Management is surgical and directed specifically at the meatal opening. The full protocol details the operative options and the decision criteria for selecting between them.
