How is Meatoplasty ?

Preoperative Assessment:
  • Comprehensive medical history and physical examination.
  • Urinalysis and imaging studies (e.g., ultrasound) to assess the urinary tract.
  • Evaluation of comorbidities that might affect surgery.
Patient Instructions:
  • Avoiding blood thinners (e.g., aspirin, NSAIDs) a week before surgery.
  • Fasting for a specified period before the procedure.
Anesthesia Consultation:
  • Typically involves either general or local anesthesia.

Setting:

Surgical Steps:

  • Incision: A small incision is made at the meatus.
  • Widening: The narrowed area is surgically widened using various techniques (e.g., excision of scar tissue, dilation).
