Definitely yes. Dilatation is good for initial treatment or for those blokes that prefer a non surgical approach. For the guys that want a permanent solution surgery is available. Better delineation of the extent of the stricture can be obtained by means of a urethragram or a MRI. Depending on the length of the stricture different techniques are available: Short strictures can be treated with an excision and primary anastomosis. Longer strictures are done in stages utilizing buccal mucosa or penile skin. There is help available.
