Genito-Urethral Reconstruction

Urethral stricture is a narrowing of the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body. This narrowing can make it difficult for patients to pass urine and may cause symptoms such as a weak stream, straining, urinary infections, or discomfort.
Dr Lozinskiy is a fellowship trained surgeon with extensive experience in the management of urethral strictures in men. He performs urethroplasty, which is a reconstructive operation used to treat a urethral stricture.
Urethroplasty is usually recommended when other treatments, such as optical urethrotomy (internal incision of the stricture) or repeated dilatation (stretching the urethra), have not been successful or when the stricture keeps coming back. It is considered the most effective long term treatment for urethral strictures, offering durable results and a significant improvement in urinary flow and quality of life.

Plication is a surgical technique used to straighten the penis where Peyronie’s disease causes significant curvature. It is generally offered to patients with less severe curvature where the bend makes sexual intercourse difficult or uncomfortable. The goal of plication is to achieve a functionally straight penis, even though a small amount of residual curvature is normal and expected. No surgical procedure can return the penis to exactly how it looked or felt before Peyronie’s disease developed, and it does not restore erectile function, which needs to be managed separately.

Surgical management of penile cancer depending on the stage, grade, and anatomical location of the tumour, ranging from minimally invasive, organ‑preserving techniques to more extensive procedures.

Lichen sclerosus is a long term skin condition that causes thin, fragile, white patches on the skin. It most commonly affects the genital area but can occur anywhere on the body. It is not contagious and cannot be passed to a partner. The exact cause is not fully understood, but research suggests that lichen sclerosus is an autoimmune condition. This means the body’s immune system mistakenly reacts against its own tissues, leading to inflammation and skin changes.
Dr Lozinskiy offers medical and surgical management of lichen sclerosus in males, including glans resurfacing, meatal and urethral reconstruction.
