Brief Answer:
Depends upon your Urologist's choice and experience.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your feedback.
Noted and understood the concerns.
It is the prerogative of the Urologist which method to be done to release the obstruction depending upon many factors.
Dilatation can be tried.
Endoscopic transurethral cut can also be tried and may give you permanent relief with dilatation which may be taught to you.
If these measure fail then formal urethroplasty can be done.
I hope this is what your Surgeon might have offered you.
