What Is Reconstructive Urology and When Is It Needed?
Reconstructive urology is a specialised field of urology that focuses on repairing urinary tract structures affected by narrowing, injury, scarring, or congenital abnormalities.
It may be recommended for patients with urethral strictures, urinary tract trauma, or structural problems that affect normal urination. Treatment can include endoscopic procedures or reconstructive surgery, depending on the condition and its severity.
A urologist determines the appropriate treatment after evaluating urinary symptoms, imaging, and other diagnostic tests.
VIU (Visual Internal Urethrotomy)
VIU is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat urethral strictures (narrowing of the urinary passage). A specialized endoscopic instrument is inserted through the urethra to make precise cuts and widen the narrowed area, allowing urine to flow normally without external incisions.
Best for:
- Short urethral strictures
- Difficulty passing urine
- Weak urine stream
- Recurrent urinary infections due to narrowing
- Urinary obstruction caused by scar tissue
BMG Urethroplasty (Buccal Mucosal Graft Urethroplasty)
BMG Urethroplasty is an advanced reconstructive surgery used to treat complex or longer urethral strictures. In this procedure, a graft taken from the inner cheek (buccal mucosa) is used to rebuild and widen the narrowed urethral segment, helping restore normal urinary function.
Best for:
- Long-segment urethral strictures
- Recurrent strictures after previous treatments
- Severe narrowing of the urethra
- Complex urethral reconstruction cases
- Failed minimally invasive stricture treatments
Ureteric Reimplantation
Ureteric Reimplantation is a reconstructive procedure that involves reconnecting the ureter (the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder) to a healthier location in the bladder. It helps restore proper urine drainage and prevent urine backflow or obstruction.
Best for:
- Ureteric injuries
- Ureteric strictures or blockages
- Vesicoureteral reflux (backflow of urine)
- Ureter damage after previous surgeries
- Congenital abnormalities affecting urine flow

Frequently Asked Questions About Reconstructive Urology
Dr. Gaurav Das, Consultant Urologist in Chembur, Mumbai, provides evaluation and treatment for urethral strictures, including VIU and urethroplasty, depending on the severity and location of the narrowing.
VIU is an endoscopic procedure that cuts through scar tissue to widen a narrowed urethra. Urethroplasty surgically repairs or reconstructs the urethra and may provide more durable results, particularly for longer or recurrent strictures.
Yes. Urethral strictures can recur after treatment. Recurrence risk depends on the stricture's length, location, underlying cause, and procedure performed. Regular follow-up helps monitor urinary function.
Buccal Mucosal Graft (BMG) Urethroplasty is a reconstructive procedure that uses tissue from the inner cheek to repair or widen a narrowed urethra. It is commonly considered for longer or complex urethral strictures.
Recovery varies depending on the complexity of surgery. A urinary catheter is often required for approximately two to three weeks, sometimes longer. Return to routine activities depends on healing and the surgeon's advice.
