Ureteric Stricture Treatment: Choosing Between Endoscopy and Reconstruction Surgery

For patients diagnosed with a ureteric stricture, several effective surgical options exist. The ultimate key to achieving a successful, long-term cure lies in choosing the correct procedure based on the stricture’s length, density, and location. At Ashirvad (Dr Binod Healthcare), our surgical team specializes in meticulously tailoring the treatment plan to your unique condition to avoid unnecessary, failed procedures:

Treatment Type	When It's Used	Benefits & Ashirvad Approach
1. Endoscopic Treatment (Minimally Invasive)	Reserved for very short strictures that are diagnosed early, usually caused by minor trauma.	Fast Recovery: Performed using a camera through the bladder. Involves techniques like laser incision or balloon dilation. While quick, this method has a higher failure rate for longer, complex strictures.
2. Laparoscopic/Robotic Reconstruction	The definitive solution for longer, denser, and recurrent strictures where endoscopic methods have failed or are predicted to fail.	Highest Success Rate: This involves cutting out the scarred segment and surgically rejoining the healthy ureter (e.g., Ureteroneocystostomy). We perform this Laparoscopically to ensure minimal trauma.
3. Complex Reconstruction (Grafting)	For extremely long strictures where the ureter is too damaged or short to rejoin, requiring complex grafting from tissue like the inside of the cheek (Buccal Mucosa Urethroplasty).	Highly specialized procedure that restores the entire flow pathway. Ashirvad Healthcare provides the expertise required for these advanced reconstructive urology surgeries.
