    Abstract:
    The authors study the incidence of urethral strictures after transurethral resection of prostate. A retrospective study of 135 patients and a prospective study of 187 patients found respectively 74% and 3.2% of urethral stenosis. Two important data are seen in this study, the duration of urethral catheter of 24 hours post operatively and the internal urethrotomy when they found a pathologic urethra pre operatively reduce the incidence of urethral strictures. With a normal urethra pre operatively and 24 hours of urethral catheter post operatively, any stenosis occurred, equally when an internal urethrotomy is done with a pathologic urethra pre operatively.
