Penile and Urethral Reconstructive Surgery

Penile and urethral reconstructive surgical procedures are used to treat a variety of urologic diagnoses. Urethral stricture disease can lead to progressive lower urinary tract symptoms and may require multiple surgical procedures to improve patient's symptoms. Male stress urinary incontinence is associated with intrinsic sphincter deficiency oftentimes associated with radical prostatectomy. Men suffering from urethral stricture disease and stress urinary incontinence should be referred to a urologist because multiple treatment options exist to improve their quality of life.
