Most cases of urethral and bladder anastomotic stricture can be cured by aggressive treatment to relieve the obstruction and remove the cause of the condition, resulting in significant improvement of symptoms.
Urethral and bladder anastomotic stricture, belongs to a subtype of urinary tract obstruction. This condition may be due to trauma, prostate disease, congenital developmental abnormalities, and local inflammatory reactions. For acute stricture or obstruction, if combined with the presence of acute urinary retention, emergency management can be performed by placing a urinary catheter or cystostomy.
After acute urinary retention is controlled, etiologic treatment is required, such as surgical treatment for trauma-induced urethral strictures or disruptions in continuity, with surgical restoration of integrity and continuity. Usually, if the obstruction is not combined with serious complications such as renal failure, most urinary tract obstructions can be cured after the above mentioned surgical and other treatments.
In the presence of urethral and bladder anastomotic stricture, prompt hospitalization is recommended.
