  • Title: [Long-term evaluation of the treatment results of male urethral stenosis].
    Author: Hermanowicz M, Massande J, Rossi D, Serment G, Richaud C, Ducassou J.
    Journal: Ann Urol (Paris); 1990; 24(1):68-72. PubMed ID: 2321924.
    Abstract:
    287 urethral strictures were treated between 1974 and 1984. Two-stage urethroplasty provided 47.6% of good results at 5 years, although there was a possibility of very delayed recurrences. Endoscopic urethrotomy only gave 26% of good results at 5 years, while 30% of good results were obtained after dilatation with Olbert's sound. Endourethral techniques do not compete with two-stage urethroplasty, provided they are performed repeatedly.
