Schweizer-Foley Operation

The Schweiser-Foley operation is a surgical procedure developed by American doctors Arthur Schweiser and Frederick Foley.

Arthur Schweiser (1864-1940) was an American surgeon and Frederick Foley (1891-1966) was an American urologist. Together they developed this procedure to treat urethral strictures (narrowing of the urethra) in men.

The operation consists of making an incision in the perineum and cutting out a flap from the skin of the penis. This flap is moved to a narrow area of ​​the urethra and used to widen it. This allows you to restore the normal lumen of the urethra.

The Schweiser-Foley operation was first performed in 1914 and for a long time remained the “gold standard” in the treatment of urethral strictures. Today it is used less frequently due to the advent of less invasive methods such as endoscopic surgery. However, in some cases it may still be the method of choice.
