What is the Optimal Surgical Strategy for Bulbous Urethral Stricture in Boys?
The Journal of Urology(2009)
Abstract
Conclusions Open reconstruction is more successful than direct vision internal urethrotomy as the initial approach to bulbous urethral strictures. Although aggressive, end-to-end repair usually provides a definitive solution. Initial direct vision internal urethrotomy is successful in half of the cases and repeat urethrotomy adds little to success. The success of the combined urethrotomy/open approach approximates that of initial open reconstruction. If initial direct vision internal urethrotomy is elected, we advocate only 1 attempt, followed by open end-to-end urethroplasty if necessary.
