  • Title: [Urethral stricture in children. Long term results of surgical treatments].
    Author: Quentel P, Beurton D, Baron JC, Cukier J.
    Journal: Ann Pediatr (Paris); 1990 Jun; 37(6):387-9. PubMed ID: 2205148.
    Abstract:
    Thirty-six urethral strictures were treated between 1977 and 1984. Three strictures were considered to be congenital, eleven were traumatic and twenty-two were iatrogenic. The authors performed twenty five internal urethrotomies, twelve resection-sutures of the urethra and eleven urethroplasties including eight patch grafts with a pedicle derived from scrotal or penile skin, a tubed pedicle scrotal skin flap, one Jurascek urethroplasty and one Leveuf urethroplasty. Internal urethrotomy only gave 50% of good results and is now reserved for short strictures less than one centimetre in length. Resection-suture is an excellent operation which should be reserved for strictures less than two centimetres in length: it gave 84% of good results. One of the various types of pedicle cutaneous urethroplasty is certainly the best operation for long strictures: it gave more than 90% of good results in the present series.
