Urologic Reconstructions

I specialize in diagnosing and treating complex urologic conditions such as strictures and urinary incontinence. I offer personalized, minimally invasive treatment options to restore your comfort and urinary function.

Urethral Strictures

A urethral stricture occurs when scar tissue forms in the urethra, causing it to narrow and restrict the flow of urine. This can lead to discomfort, infections, and kidney damage if untreated.

Symptoms:

Treatment Options:

Urethral Dilation: Gradual widening of the urethra using specialized instruments
Direct Vision Internal Urethrotomy (DVIU): Endoscopic incision of the stricture
Urethroplasty: Surgical reconstruction for longer or recurring strictures
Catheterization: Temporary relief in certain patients

Ureteral Strictures

Ureteral strictures are narrowings or blockages of the ureters—the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. These may be congenital, post-surgical, post-radiation, or due to infections or kidney stones.

Symptoms:

Treatment Options:

Balloon Dilation: Minimally invasive expansion of the narrowed segment
Ureteral Stent Placement: Temporary internal tube to maintain flow placed from within the bladder
Nephrostomy tube: Temporary tube from the back into the kidney to maintain flow. This requires a bag to drain urine.
Pyeloplasty: Surgery to correct strictures near the kidney

Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS)

An artificial urinary sphincter is an implanted device used to treat moderate to severe urinary incontinence, often due to prostate surgery, nerve damage, or trauma to the urethral sphincter.
