Abstract

One hundred five patients with urethral stricture of various causations were treated with excision of the stricture and oblique end-to-end anastomosis. Fifty-two patients (49%) had had one or more previous operations and dilatations, respectively. The immediate postoperative complication rate was 9 per cent. Ninety patients could be followed for one to eight years. The success rate was 93 per cent. Five patients had recurrent strictures. The failures were due to abscess formation, perineal hematoma, and excessive length of stricture.
