Steroid Treatment for Meatal Stenosis

Betamethasone 0.1% cream was administered to the external meatus twice per day for a duration of 21 days.

"In the event of steroid therapy failure, a meatotomy was performed under general anesthesia. The procedure involved squashing the ventral aspect of the pinpoint meatus for approximately 3-5 millimeters for 10 seconds and then incising it. The mucosal margins were sutured with absorbable sutures to avoid renarrowing.~Urethral catheterization was not employed, and the procedure was performed on an outpatient basis. Patients were discharged following urination."
