title: What's new in urethroplasty?
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This study provides an overview of current thinking about urethroplasty.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There have been a number of recent developments, principally to minimize the trauma of anterior urethroplasty and to address the posterior urethral complications of the treatment of prostate cancer. There also have been significant developments in the assessment of the outcome of urethroplasty and specifically of patient reported outcome measures.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  These trends are likely to continue. There also seems to be a real possibility that cell culture techniques may finally produce clinically useful material for surgical practice.
