second opinion in Mumbai.
Medical term: Urethroplasty
Already chosen your reconstructive urologist in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai to review your proposed urethral stricture surgery (urethroplasty)? When you cannot attend yourself, Redwood organises your existing records and questions, takes the case to that doctor and shares their recommendations.
You choose the doctor. We take your case to them.
Understand the procedure
What is urethral stricture surgery (urethroplasty)?
A urethral stricture is a narrowing of the tube that carries urine out of the body. Urethroplasty reconstructs that narrowed segment. It is different from stretching or cutting the narrowing through a scope.
This is general procedure information. Your chosen doctor assesses what applies to you.

Your decision, your questions
Questions for your chosen doctor
Choose the questions that matter to your situation. We record them in your own words and take them to the consultation.
- Where is the stricture and how long is it?
- Why is reconstruction preferred over another dilation or endoscopic treatment?
- Would a graft or more than one stage be needed?
- What effects on urination, erections or ejaculation and what recurrence risk should I discuss?
Your existing case file
Records to organise
We organise the urethrogram or other urethral imaging already performed alongside your treatment history and the written procedure recommendation. We note what you want the reconstructive urologist to clarify and keep the original reports available for the consultation.
Share the records you already have. This is a document checklist, not a request for new tests.
Bring together what is available
- Urethrogram or other urethral imaging already performed
- Cystoscopy and urine-flow reports
- Records of previous dilation, urethrotomy, catheter problems or pelvic injury
- Available urine cultures, current medicines and the surgeon's proposed repair
- Your written procedure recommendation, current prescriptions and allergy details
