A urethrotomy is an operation which involves incision of the urethra, especially for relief of a stricture.[1]
Direct visual internal urethrotomy (optical urethrotomy) uses an endoscopic device known as a urethrotome. This is inserted up the urethra to the stricture and an extendible knife (or laser) is used to make the incisions.[2]
