title: [Termino-terminal urethroplasty using microsurgical technique in the treatment of bulbar urethral stenosis: evaluation of long-term results and preservation of potency].
abstract: The Authors report their experience, at long term, on the use of overlap anastomosis sec. Turner Warwick's technique for the treatment of posterior urethral strictures. 12 patients, from 17 to 58 years, were observed. Minimum follow-up was 43.3 months. All patients performed, pre and post-operatively, a retrograde cystogram, an uroflowmetry, a questionnaire to evaluate sexual potency by IIEF and AUA score, and some cases underwent also a cystoscopy post-operatively. Results demonstrated the effectiveness of technique five years later too, which is the period with the greater incidence of recurrences.
