Urethroplasty, a reconstructive surgery, is generally considered the most effective and permanent treatment for urethral stricture. It involves removing the scarred tissue and reconstructing the urethra, aiming for a lasting solution. While some less invasive options like dilation or internal urethrotomy exist, they often have lower success rates and higher recurrence rates.
