title: [Stenosis of the urethra in children. Long-term results of surgical treatment].
abstract: Thirty-six urethral strictures were treated between 1977 and 1984. Three strictures were considered to be congenital, eleven were traumatic and twenty-two were iatrogenic. The authors performed twenty five internal urethrotomies, twelve resection-sutures of the urethra and eleven urethroplasties including eight patch grafts with a pedicle derived from scrotal or penile skin, a tubed pedicle scrotal skin flap, one Jurascek urethroplasty and one Leveuf urethroplasty. Internal urethrotomy only gave 50% good results and is now reserved for short strictures less than one centimetre. Of resection-suture is an excellent operation which should be reserved for strictures less than two centimetres: it gave 84% of good results. One of the various types of pedicle cutaneous urethroplasty is certainly the best operation to treat long strictures: it gave more than 90% of good results in the present series.
