Urethral Stricture in Transgender Women: Short Non-Obliterative Stricture

This protocol addresses the management of a short, non-obliterative urethral stricture in transgender female (transwoman) patients — a clinically distinct population with specific anatomical and surgical considerations.

Clinical Scenario

The patient is a transgender female (transwoman) presenting with a short, non-obliterative urethral stricture. The anatomical context following gender-affirming surgery informs the choice of intervention.

Treatment Approach

For eligible transwomen with a short non-obliterative stricture, a minimally invasive approach to restore urethral patency is recognised as an appropriate starting point. The full structured regimen — including procedural details and follow-up pathway — is available in the complete protocol.
