Joshi Step / MsANTA

The Joshi Step technique, also termed Muscle-sparing Anastomotic (MsANTA), preserves the bulbospongiosus muscle and surrounding fascia during dissection for excision and primary anastomosis. By avoiding muscle division, this approach reduces postoperative perineal discomfort and may preserve ejaculatory function. The technique is applicable to short to moderate-length bulbar strictures.
