Simple urethral dilatation, endoscopic urethrotomy, and urethroplasty for urethral stricture disease in adult men

Abstract

There were insufficient data to determine which intervention is best for urethral stricture disease in terms of balancing efficacy, adverse effects and costs. Well designed, adequately powered multi-centre trials are needed to answer relevant clinical questions regarding treatment of men with urethral strictures.

Does site of buccal mucosa graft for bulbar urethra stricture affect outcome? A comparative analysis of ventral, dorso-lateral and dorsal buccal mucosa graft augmentation urethroplasty

“…[1] Urethroplasty across many centres regularly performing the procedure offers a cure rate of 80% to 90% which is far superior to their competitors. [7,8] For long-segment non traumatic bulbar urethral stricture, BMG augmentation urethroplasty is the standard of care.…”

Catheter dwell time and diameter affect the recurrence rates after internal urethrotomy

“…[1,9] In 1974, Sachse [10] introduced DVIU to treat urethral strictures by cold-knife incision. Optical urethrotomy by either incision or ablation has been considered as the standard therapy for anterior urethral strictures.…”

Review on Management of Urethral Stricture Disease at Tertiary Care Centre

“…This is consistent with previous studies 23,25 . Urethroplasty is the most effective method for definitive correction of urethral stricture disease and this approach is generally considered to be the gold-standard treatment 26,27 . This is due to the fact that in DVIU the wound contraction tries to approximate the edges before epithelization is complete while in anastomotic urethroplasty the area of fibrosis is totally excised and anastomosis is widely spatulated creating a large ovoid anastomosis.…”
