Who is a good candidate for this procedure?

Ideal candidates are men with urethral strictures longer than 2 cm, especially those who have failed previous endoscopic treatments or have recurrent strictures. Contraindications include active urinary tract infection, untreated lichen sclerosus, or prior radiation therapy to the urethra. A thorough preoperative evaluation, including urethrography and cystoscopy, is required to confirm suitability.
