title: A new technique for the obliterative urethral strictures.
abstract: There have been a troublesome problem to treat with obliterative urethral strictures, the challenge is how to reduce wound of surgery and improve therapeutic success rates. In this study, we reported single-hospital institution case-series including 97 patients with obliterative urethral strictures were enrolled with "three lines lie within one imaginary plane (TLLWOIP)" to treat with patients with the obliterative urethral strictures. Perioperative variables and success rates were evaluated. Urinary flow rate, residual urine (RU) volume and quality-of-life score (QoLs) of patients were analyzed. In the obliterative urethral strictures, postoperative maximum urinary flow rate was 24.36 ± 10.69 ml, and postoperative RU volume and QoLs outcomes were significantly lower than preoperative outcomes with TLLWOIP. A total of success rate was 62.9% with TLLWOIP. Our results suggested that it was ideal candidates for initial treatment with TLLWOIP for the obliterative urethral strictures.
