Many men with urethral strictures are told for months, or sometimes even years, that they have prostate problems. Because of this, they are often given medications that don’t help. If their stricture is diagnosed, there is a chance their doctor may not perform the surgery needed to correct it definitively. That is where Dr. Lacefield steps in.
The first step when meeting with Dr. Lacefield is to do a 20-second scope in the office. In fact, many strictures can be managed with a simple cutting of the stricture (DVIU). Since it is important to get the best outcome possible from the first attempt, Dr. Lacefield uses a laser on the incision site, where he injects steroids. If the stricture is either too long or a DVIU has already failed, then a urethroplasty is needed.
While so few urologists are competent in this surgery, Dr. Lacefield has extensive experience with all types of urethroplasty.
