title: [Long-term evaluation of the treatment results of male urethral stenosis].
abstract: 287 urethral strictures were treated between 1974 and 1984. Two-stage urethroplasty provided 47.6% of good results at 5 years, although there was a possibility of very delayed recurrences. Endoscopic urethrotomy only gave 26% of good results at 5 years, while 30% of good results were obtained after dilatation with Olbert's sound. Endourethral techniques do not compete with two-stage urethroplasty, provided they are performed repeatedly.
