We know that there is still a place for less invasive interventions such as urethral dilatation and internal urethrotomy in the initial management of urethral strictures in selected patients [2,3]...

With an estimated prevalence of 296 to 627 per 100,000 men, male urethral stricture disease imposes a significant burden on the health care system (1, 2). Urethroplasty has demonstrated durable, high success rates in the management of a wide spectrum of stricture disease, far exceeding that of the more commonly performed but less successful direct vision internal urethrotomy (DVIU) (1, 3-5). Wh...
