[Internal urethrotomy in the treatment of urethral stenoses (longterm results)].
The authors report their experience of a series of 100 patients undergoing internal urethrotomy for urethral stricture, with a follow-up ranging from 12 months to 5 years. The morbidity was 16%. A satisfactory result was obtained in 54% of cases. The site and aetiology of the stricture did not influence the results. Better results were obtained in shorter, isolated strictures. Poor results were reported in cases with extensive stricture or in patients with a history of urethral surgery. These cases underwent repeated urethrotomy with less favourable results.
