Endoscopic Urethroplasty
Endoscopic urethroplasty refers to minimally invasive approaches that deliver reconstructive materials such as buccal mucosal grafts or drug-eluting devices to the urethral stricture site under endoscopic guidance without open surgical incisions. Robotic and laparoscopic adjuncts have been described to facilitate graft placement via a combined antegrade and retrograde approach. This emerging field aims to reduce morbidity while maintaining the durability of open urethroplasty.
