  • Title: [Long-term results of the treatment of male urethral stricture].
    Author: de Jong Z, Fouda PJ, Pontonnier F, Plante P.
    Journal: Ann Urol (Paris); 1990; 24(2):167-70. PubMed ID: 2350168.
    Abstract:
    The authors present 56 patients treated for urethral stricture between 1976 and 1983. Patients without recurrence of the stricture were followed for more than 5 years, the mean follow-up was 8 years +/- 2.1 (standard-deviation) (5 to 12 years). Thirty-eight patients (67.9%) had a recurrent stricture. Patient age ranged from 29 to 86 years (mean age 61 +/- 12.8 years). The best results were obtained with a one-stage anastomotic procedure and urethroplasty with foreskin graft. Patient age and topography of the stricture are not prognostic factors. Traumatic and infectious strictures have a better prognosis than other forms (the difference is statistically significant: chi-square = 3.9; P inferior to 0.05).
