About Optical Urethrotomy (Laser)

Optical Urethrotomy (Laser) is a procedure usually used to treat a condition known as urethral stricture in male patients. In this condition, the patient has difficulty with urination due to scarring/blockage of a passageway to the bladder. In this surgery, the patient is placed under general anesthesia, and the doctor will use laser technology to remove the excess tissue from the passageway.
