  • Title: Endourethrotomy of posterior urethral obliterations and severe strictures: improved outcome with urethral self-dilatation.
    Author: Alzimaity MF, Mosli H, Farsi HM, Bahnassy AA.
    Journal: J Endourol; 1996 Aug; 10(4):385-8. PubMed ID: 8872740.
    Abstract:
    Eighteen male patients underwent endoscopic management of urethral obliterations and severe strictures of the subprostatic urethra. Thirteen patients who performed clean urethral self-dilatation after endoscopic repair had a lower incidence of recurrent strictures (P = 0.03) and required fewer visual internal urethrotomies than the initial five patients, who did not self-dilate (P = 0.01). All patients had minimal morbidity and required short hospitalization to achieve adequate urine flow and a stable urethral neolumen during the follow-up period.
