    Author: Boujnah H, Abid I, Trabelsi N, Zmerli S.
    Journal: J Chir (Paris); 1989 Mar; 126(3):163-8. PubMed ID: 2659605.
    Abstract:
    Iatrogenic causes of stenosis of urethra appear to be increasing in frequency. 100 cases out of a total of 582 patients being of iatrogenic origin. The principal cause is the use of a urethral catheter. Various therapeutic methods are used, preference being given quite clearly to internal urethrotomy. Prevention is of fundamental importance and is based on the less untimely routine use of urethral catheters, particularly after general surgical operations and in intensive care.
