Complex Anterior Urethral Stricture in Men Not Suitable for Single-Stage Urethroplasty

This protocol covers the management of male patients with complex anterior urethral stricture disease who are not candidates for single-stage urethroplasty but who are fit for surgical reconstruction.

Clinical Scenario

The patient is male with a complex anterior urethral stricture. The nature and extent of the stricture rule out repair in a single reconstructive stage. The patient is otherwise suitable for urethral reconstruction.

Treatment Approach

The recommended approach in this setting involves staged urethroplasty — a planned multi-step surgical reconstruction. The specific staging requirements, interval between stages, and procedural details are outlined in the full protocol.

Offer staged urethroplasty to men with complex anterior urethral stricture disease not suitable for single stage urethroplasty and who are fit for reconstruction.
