Overview
Brief Summary
This is a parallel arm, randomized controlled study in which after urethroplasty surgery patients are followed up. Early removal of catheter has advantages of reduced urinary tract infection rates, better comfort to the patient and reduced recurrence rate of stricture, In the intervention group, per urethral urethrogram is done 7 days early than comparator group which is within the optimum range of duration of catheterization. The extravasation rates are measured and catheter is removed when there is no extravasation. The extravasation rates, duration of catheterization and recurrence rates of both groups are compared and the feasibility of early removal is to be determined.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Extravasation rates, duration of catheterization.
Time Frame: Extravasation rates on 7th, 14th for anastomotic urethroplasty and 14th and 21st day for buccal mucosal onlay urethroplasty. Duration of catheterization measured on 21st day.
Secondary Outcomes
- Recurrence of stricture rates.(Recurrence rates studied at 3 & 6 months after surgery.)
