What is Optilume and why choose it?

Optilume is an advanced treatment that uses a small balloon to widen the narrowed urethra. What makes it unique is that this balloon is coated with a drug called paclitaxelan agent that is also used in angioplasty of the heart.

The paclitaxel works by reducing scar formation and preventing the tissue from re-closing after the procedure. The same drug has been used successfully in cardiology to keep coronary arteries open after treatment with balloons or stents. In the case of the urethra, its function is similar: to ensure that the widening is more durable.

Advantages of the Optilume procedure:

Minimally invasive: No cutting or major surgery is required, reducing discomfort and recovery time.
Fast and ambulatory: The procedure is performed in the consulting room and you can return home the same day.
Long-lasting results: Thanks to paclitaxel, the urethra is kept open longer, decreasing the risk of stricture returning.
Rapid recovery: Most patients resume normal activities within a few days.
Low risk of complications: It is a safe and well-tolerated treatment.

This treatment of Urology Alicante combines the effectiveness of modern medical technology with the safety of a minimally invasive approach. If you are looking for a practical and long-lasting solution for urethral stricture, Optilume could be just what you need.
