Potential complications include stricture recurrence in 10% to 15% of cases, temporary urinary dribbling, and rare sexual dysfunction. Specialists at JCI-accredited Istanbul clinics use buccal mucosal grafts to minimize long-term risks.
Bookimed Expert Insight: While many focus on surgery, the primary differentiator for success in Turkey is catheter management. Leading centers like Anadolu Medical Center, affiliated with Johns Hopkins, utilize specific protocols for the 3-week catheter period. This focus significantly reduces the risk of urethrocutaneous fistulas compared to shorter, non-standardized recovery timelines.
Patient Consensus: Most patients describe the three-week foley catheter as the most challenging part of recovery. They often recommend planning at least one month off work to manage localized discomfort and initial urinary spraying.
