Types of Reconstructive Urology Problems Treated by Dr. Sunil Mhaske
Urethral Stricture
Urethral stricture occurs when scar tissue narrows the urethra and restricts urine flow. It may cause a weak stream, straining, incomplete bladder emptying, or repeated urinary infections..
Bladder Neck Contracture
Bladder neck contracture develops when scar tissue forms at the opening of the bladder. It may occur after prostate surgery and can make urination slow, difficult, or painful.
Urethral Injury
The urethra may be damaged due to pelvic fractures, accidents, catheter-related trauma, or previous surgery. Reconstructive treatment helps restore the urinary passage and improve urine flow.
Urinary Fistula
A urinary fistula is an abnormal connection between the urinary tract and another organ or the skin. It may lead to continuous urine leakage, infections, and irritation
Ureteric Stricture
A ureteric stricture is a narrowing of the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder. It can cause kidney swelling, side pain, infection, or reduced kidney function.
Ureteric Injury
Ureteric injuries may occur during abdominal or pelvic surgery, trauma, or radiation treatment. Repair is often needed to prevent urine leakage and protect kidney function.
Symptoms of Reconstructive Urology Problems That Need Specialist Care
Primary symptoms:
• Weak, slow, or interrupted urine flow
• Difficulty starting urination or straining to pass urine
• Feeling that the bladder has not emptied completely
• Frequent or urgent need to urinate
Additional symptoms:
• Blood in the urine
• Continuous urine leakage through an unusual opening
• Swelling, pain, or discomfort in the lower abdomen
• Side or back pain caused by a urinary blockage
How Are Reconstructive Urology Problems Diagnosed?
Reconstructive urology problems are diagnosed by reviewing urinary symptoms, previous surgeries, injuries, infections, and existing medical conditions. Physical examination, urine tests, ultrasound, uroflowmetry, cystoscopy, and specialized imaging may be used to locate narrowing, blockage, leakage, scar tissue, or damage within the urinary tract.
- Medical History Review
The urologist asks about weak urine flow, straining, urine leakage, repeated infections, previous catheter use, pelvic injury, radiation treatment, and earlier prostate, bladder, urethral, or abdominal surgeries.
- Urine Tests
Urine analysis and urine culture help detect infection, blood, pus cells, bacteria, and other abnormalities. Treating an active infection may be necessary before planning a reconstructive procedure.
- Uroflowmetry
Uroflowmetry measures the speed and pattern of urine flow. A slow, interrupted, or reduced flow may suggest urethral stricture, bladder neck narrowing, or another form of urinary obstruction.
- Ultrasound Examination
Ultrasound helps examine the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and the amount of urine remaining after urination. It can reveal kidney swelling, bladder changes, urine retention, stones, or obstruction.
- Physical Examination
A physical examination helps identify abdominal swelling, bladder fullness, surgical scars, abnormal urinary openings, genital changes, tissue damage, or signs of injury involving the urethra and surrounding structures.
- Cystoscopy
Cystoscopy uses a thin camera to examine the urethra and bladder from inside. It allows the urologist to identify scar tissue, narrowing, blockage, fistula openings, or complications following previous treatment.
Reconstructive Urology Treatments Available at Dr. Sunil Mhaske’s Clinic in Pimpri Chinchwad
Dr. Sunil Mhaske’s clinic provides personalised reconstructive urology treatment for urinary tract narrowing, blockage, leakage, injury, congenital abnormalities, and complications following previous surgery. The treatment approach is selected after evaluating the patient’s symptoms, medical history, diagnostic reports, location of the problem, and extent of urinary tract damage.
- Urethral Stricture Treatment
Urethral stricture treatment aims to widen or rebuild the narrowed urinary passage. Depending on the length and severity of the stricture, treatment may include endoscopic procedures, urethral dilatation, or urethroplasty.
- Urethroplasty
Urethroplasty is a reconstructive procedure used to remove or repair scarred sections of the urethra. Healthy tissue may be used to rebuild the urinary channel and restore smoother urine flow.
- Bladder Neck Contracture Treatment
Scar tissue at the bladder outlet may lead to weak urine flow, straining, or incomplete bladder emptying. Treatment may include endoscopic incision, scar removal, or reconstructive surgery in recurrent cases.
- Urinary Fistula Repair
Urinary fistula treatment closes an abnormal connection between the urinary tract and another organ or the skin. Surgical repair helps control urine leakage, reduce repeated infections, and restore the normal urinary pathway.
- Ureteric Stricture Treatment
Narrowing of the ureter can block urine flow from the kidney to the bladder. Treatment may involve endoscopic correction, stenting, or reconstructive surgery to relieve the obstruction and protect kidney function.
- Ureteric Injury Repair
Ureteric injuries caused by surgery, trauma, or radiation may require reconstruction. The damaged section may be repaired, reconnected, or reimplanted into the bladder to prevent urine leakage and kidney damage.
What Is the Cost of Reconstructive Urology Treatment in Pimpri Chinchwad?
The cost of reconstructive urology treatment in Pimpri Chinchwad depends on the affected part of the urinary tract, severity of narrowing or damage, diagnostic tests required, procedure complexity, hospital stay, anaesthesia, and follow-up care. Conditions such as urethral stricture, urinary fistula, ureteric injury, bladder neck contracture, urine leakage, or complications after previous surgery require different treatment approaches, so the final expense varies for each patient.
Consultation and Initial Assessment
Lowest cost — usually includes consultation, symptom review, medical and surgical history, physical examination, and basic treatment advice.
Urine and Blood Tests
Low cost — may include urine analysis, urine culture, kidney function tests, blood counts, and other laboratory investigations required before treatment.
Uroflowmetry and Bladder Evaluation
Low to moderate cost — measures urine flow and checks how well the bladder empties. Additional bladder-function tests may be advised for urinary leakage or retention.
Ultrasound and Imaging Tests
Low to moderate cost — may include ultrasound, retrograde urethrogram, micturating cystourethrogram, CT scan, or MRI to locate narrowing, leakage, blockage, or urinary tract injury.
Cystoscopy
Moderate cost — involves examining the urethra and bladder with a small camera to identify scar tissue, stricture, blockage, fistula, or post-surgical complications.
Urethral Stricture Treatment
Moderate to higher cost — expenses depend on whether the patient requires dilatation, an endoscopic procedure, or reconstructive urethroplasty.

Frequently Asked Questions About Reconstructive Urology
Reconstructive urology is a specialised branch of urology that repairs damaged, narrowed, blocked, or abnormally formed parts of the urinary tract and male genital system. Its purpose is to restore urine flow, bladder control, and normal urinary function.
A urethral stricture develops when scar tissue narrows the tube that carries urine out of the body. It may cause weak urine flow, straining, spraying, incomplete bladder emptying, or repeated urinary infections.
Reconstructive urology treats urethral strictures, urinary fistulas, ureteric narrowing, bladder neck contracture, urinary injuries, post-surgical complications, congenital abnormalities, and urinary incontinence after prostate or pelvic surgery.
Urethral narrowing may result from infection, injury, catheterisation, pelvic trauma, previous urinary procedures, inflammation, or surgery. In some patients, the exact cause may not be clearly identified.
Diagnosis may involve symptom evaluation, uroflowmetry, ultrasound, cystoscopy, and a retrograde urethrogram. These tests help determine the position, length, and severity of the narrowed section.
Urethroplasty is a reconstructive operation used to repair or rebuild a narrowed urethra. The damaged section may be removed and reconnected, or a tissue graft may be used to widen the urinary passage.
Urethral dilatation may provide temporary relief in selected cases, but the narrowing can return. Urethroplasty is often considered for long, severe, or repeatedly recurring strictures because it aims to provide a more lasting repair.
A urinary fistula is an abnormal passage that allows urine to leak between the urinary tract and another organ, body cavity, or the skin. It may cause continuous leakage, irritation, infections, and discomfort.
Yes. Many urinary fistulas can be closed through reconstructive surgery. The method depends on the fistula’s location, size, cause, surrounding tissue condition, and whether the patient has undergone previous operations.
Bladder neck contracture occurs when scar tissue narrows the opening between the bladder and urethra. It may develop after prostate treatment and can cause weak urine flow, straining, retention, or incomplete emptying.
Treatment depends on where and how severely the ureter is damaged. Options may include stenting, reconnecting the injured ends, replacing a damaged segment, or reimplanting the ureter into the bladder.
Yes. Persistent urinary leakage after prostate surgery may be treated with pelvic floor therapy, a male sling, or an artificial urinary sphincter. The treatment is chosen according to the amount and cause of leakage.
