Optical internal urethrotomy procedure involves the use of a special device known as an endoscope. The endoscope specially used during the procedure is called a urethrostome.

The optical internal uthrethrotomy procedure is used to remove the stricture in the urethra that blocks the flow of urine. This is a sensitive procedure in which the excess tissue is cut off with the help of a sharp knife.

Optical internal uthrethrotomy success rate is not that good, but it can be very effective in certain cases. Some men are at an increased risk of contracting infection after the surgery and suffer from excessive bleeding and urethral stricture recurrence.
