Urethra: Treatment

Besides the different drugs to treat an infection or urethral inflammation of the urethra, there are surgical techniques such as urethrotomy consisting incise the wall of the urethra in order to restore the flow of urine . This technique carried inwards is called external urethrotomy. In this case, the opening is made behind the scholarship: it is then called urethral size. When the opening is made from within outwards with a urethrotomy, this is an internal urethrotomy. Urethrotomy is a tool to practice internal urethrotomy. It consists of a generally triangular shaped blade which is mounted on a long rod to be inserted into the urethra to cut only the narrowed area of the channel through a special arrangement.
The urethrotomy should not be confused with the urethrostomy involving the conduct of an opening of the urethra and create an artificial meatus (orifice artificial) when he found a narrowing (called urétrosténie) impassable (Poncet and Delors). The perineal urethrostomy, also called périnéostomie, is practiced in the perineum.
Less commonly, the surgeon has to make a urétrorraphie consisting of suture (points to) on the urethra sectioned in whole or in part.
The surgeon may need to perform a urethroplasty consisting of a surgical procedure designed to fill defects or to close a fistula of the urethra.
It can also perform a urethrectomy by doing a resection (he withdrew) a portion of the urethra. This is called partial when it removes a portion of the urethra and is circumferential said when he left the bridge.
