[Treatment results in urethral strictures].

Abstract

A total of 231 patients with urethral strictures were treated. The disease resulted from trauma, adenomectomy, chronic urethritis, prostatic sclerosis in 92, 72, 51 and 16 patients, respectively. Fifty-one patients underwent conservative treatment which involved bougienage, resolving and anti-inflammatory agents. 38 of them responded, 13 nonresponders were operated on. 72 patients were subjected to partial urethral tunneling according to an original technique which brought success in 90% of the cases. Out of 92 traumatic urethral strictures 88 were cured after end-to-end plastic reconstruction. It is believed that urethral strictures should be managed individually basing on the stricture cause, location, length, severity, complications.
