Urethral trauma, do I need surgery?

  Patient: Description of condition (time of onset, main symptoms, hospital visited, etc.): Discharged from 301 Hospital on August 14 after nephrectomy in Urology 3. Now I feel a blockage in the urethra when urinating and have a thin and bifurcated urine stream. Had a nephrectomy and ureterectomy at 301 on August 2. It is possible that the incision made before the surgery caused urethral trauma. Can urethral trauma heal on its own?  Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital, Department of Urology, Yinglong Sa: Uroflow rate and urography can be done first to understand whether there is urethral stricture or not. Based on the test results, we will consider the treatment method.  Patient: Thank you, Mr. Sa, my symptoms are quite obvious, they are near the urethra, I would like to observe the situation for a few days and consult afterwards. Is it okay to do a urethral dilatation.  Urology Department, Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital: You can observe for a few more days, urethral dilatation can be done, but not often.  Patient: Thank you, Director Sa.
