title: [Current status of urethral stenosis in tropical Africa/ Apropos of 71 cases].
abstract: In this study of seventy-one cases, the authors report the characteristics of the clinical course and treatment of urethral stricture in tropical Africa. In this special context, only 38% cases could benefit from a curative procedure on the urethra, whereas in 43.6% of patients, local complications only allowed palliative treatment (periodic dilatation of urethra, perineal uretherostomy or definitive cystostomy).
