Reconstructive Urology

Neuro-Urology

At Sunway Medical Centre Velocity, our Reconstructive Urology services focus on restoring the normal function and structure of the urinary tract, genital organs, and pelvic floor. These conditions often arise from injury, congenital abnormalities, previous surgeries, radiation treatment, strictures, or complications from chronic illness.

Our specialists provide evaluation, advanced diagnostics, and tailored surgical and non-surgical treatments designed to improve urinary flow, sexual function, comfort, and overall quality of life.
 

Understanding Reconstructive Urology

Reconstructive Urology addresses conditions where the anatomy or function of the urinary tract has been disrupted. This may involve the urethra, bladder, ureters, or genital structures.

Common causes include:

  • Trauma (road accidents, falls, pelvic fractures)
  • Inflammation or infection
  • Congenital (birth) defects
  • Scarring from previous surgeries
  • Radiation therapy for prostate, bladder, or pelvic cancers
  • Catheter injury
  • Chronic strictures or obstruction

The goal of reconstructive care is to restore normal urinary flow, improve continence, and support sexual and reproductive health
 

Why Early Evaluation Matters

Delaying treatment may lead to:

  • Recurrent urinary tract infections
  • Kidney damage due to obstruction
  • Progressive scarring
  • Incontinence and leakage
  • Pelvic or genital discomfort
  • Difficulty with sexual function
  • Long-term complications affecting quality of life

Early consultation allows for accurate assessment and personalised treatment before symptoms worsen.
 

Conditions We Manage

Our Reconstructive Urology team at SMCV provides evaluation and treatment for:

Urethral & Urinary Tract Conditions

  • Urethral stricture disease
  • Trauma-related urethral injuries
  • Blocked or narrowed urinary passage
  • Recurrent urinary tract infections caused by obstruction

Bladder & Pelvic Floor Disorders

  • Urinary incontinence (male or female)
  • Bladder dysfunction following trauma or surgery
  • Fistulas (abnormal connections between organs)
  • Pelvic organ dysfunction after childbirth or radiation

Genital Reconstruction

  • Penile curvature (Peyronie’s disease)
  • Penile or scrotal injuries
  • Congenital anomalies (e.g., hypospadias complications in adults)
  • Lichen sclerosus–related scarring

Post-Cancer or Post-Radiation Complications

  • Urethral strictures after prostate or pelvic cancer treatment
  • Bladder neck contracture
  • Radiation-related scarring affecting urination or continence


Diagnostic Evaluations

We use advanced tools to assess urinary flow, structural abnormalities, and functional changes:

  • Uroflowmetry — evaluates urine flow pattern
  • Cystoscopy — visual inspection of the urethra and bladder
  • Retrograde urethrogram (RUG) — detailed imaging of urethral strictures
  • Ultrasound / MRI for trauma or complex scarring
  • Urodynamic studies to assess bladder pressure and function

Accurate diagnosis is essential to customise the most effective treatment plan.

Specialised Reconstructive Treatments

Our centre offers a wide range of reconstructive procedures, from minimally invasive to complex surgery.

Surgical Interventions

  • Urethroplasty
    • The gold-standard procedure for urethral strictures
    • May involve excision, grafting, or reconstruction using tissue such as buccal mucosa
  • Endoscopic Management
    • Direct Vision Internal Urethrotomy (DVIU)
    • Minimally invasive options for selected strictures
  • Bladder Neck Reconstruction
    • For scarring after prostate surgery or radiation.
  • Fistula Repair
    • Vesicovaginal, urethrovaginal, or rectourethral fistulas
    • Restores function and comfort with delicate surgical correction
  • Genital Reconstruction Surgery
    • Penile curvature correction
    • Repair of trauma-related or congenital abnormalities
    • Scrotal reconstruction

Non-Surgical Therapies

  • Pelvic floor physiotherapy
  • Medication for urinary control
  • Behavioural and bladder retraining
  • Continence support programmes
  • Catheter management and alternatives (e.g., suprapubic catheter care)


Recovery & Long-Term Care

Reconstructive urological conditions often require follow-up to ensure long-term success and prevent recurrence. At SMCV, our care continues beyond treatment through:

  • Regular follow-up imaging and flow tests
  • Monitoring kidney and bladder health
  • Guidance on catheter care (if needed)
  • Physiotherapy for pelvic floor support
  • Education on lifestyle modifications to prevent recurrence

Our goal is to ensure durable recovery, improved comfort, and a better quality of life.
