Case description

This video shows urethral stricture treatment with the holmium laser. This same-day surgical procedure is performed as an outpatient under general or spinal anesthesia. Laser urethrotomy allows for precise removal of the diseased scar tissue. A urethral catheter is typically placed at the end of the surgery and then removed about 3 days later. Author of video Dr. Dan Williams, Associate Professor of Urology at University of Wisconsin.
