[Internal urethrotomy in the treatment of stenosis of the urethra. Late results and a review of the literature].
The authors report their experience with 37 patients treated by internal urethrotomy for urethral strictures. The results were appreciated on urethral calibration and flow rate after a median follow-up of 33,5 months and a minimal follow-up of one year. The rate of satisfying results was 78,3%. The authors emphasize the need of dilatations associated to low-doses of cortico-steroids in the post-operative period during the first three months, to improve the results.
