Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Urethral reconstruction has come a long way from its early days, when it faced outspoken skeptics and outcomes were reported only in small series. Now, urethroplasty is accepted as the gold standard in the management of urethral strictures, and there are urethral stricture guidelines from multiple professional organizations.
As urethral stricture management has become more standardized, new challenges and refinements have been reported. Gender-affirming surgery has led to a new angle in the practice of urologic reconstruction, and complications like urethral strictures and fistulas have been observed. Similarly, new technologies and techniques continue to emerge with the goal of refining urethroplasty and urethral stricture management in general.
This Special Issue will focus on different clinical perspectives on urethral reconstruction, with the hope of highlighting common challenges for reconstructive urologists, including in gender-affirming care and in urethral strictures and bladder neck stenosis in cisgender men. Over the course of this Special Issue, we hope to offer insights and updates that can advance practices and patient care by inspiring each of our readers.
Dr. Krishnan Venkatesan
