Suggest Remedy To Reduce The Urethral Opening Size

I'm 26 years old and I recently had a circumcision. A small area a quarter of an inch from the urethal opening did not heal shut. It healed into a hole. The urologist that performed the procedure advised me to wait it out to see if it heals. I did for months and it never closed. It just healed into a hole. So I was urinating from two holes. I had a second opinion and I was told it would not close. He suggested cutting the area between the urethral opening and the small hole. I decided to go with it since i was not comfortable with the alternative option. I had the area removed and I regret have the circumcision in the first place. I didn't realize how big the urethral opening was going to be. It's now a slit that's .75 inch long. When I urinate it sprays and gets everywhere. I want to know if this can be corrected by another Urologist?
