Urethrotomy is the medical term used for a surgery that involves cutting the urethra to remove any blockages or strictures. However, there are several other terms that are used as synonyms for this procedure, including urethral dilatation, urethral incision, urethrotome, and urethral strictureplasty. All of these procedures involve some form of cutting or stretching of the urethra to improve urinary flow and reduce urinary symptoms. While each of these terms refers to a slightly different approach to treating urethral strictures and blockages, they all share a common goal of improving urinary function and relieving discomfort.
