Optical urethrotomy is an effective treatment for male urethral strictures, with 80% of patients needing no further intervention. This procedure also successfully treated associated urethral fistulae in two cases.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Urethral strictures represent a significant challenge in urology.
  • Recurrence and complications necessitate effective treatment strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of optical urethrotomy for treating male urethral strictures.
  • To assess the long-term outcomes and complication rates of the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 170 male patients with urethral strictures treated over a 4-year period.
  • Optical urethrotomy was the primary intervention used.
  • Follow-up data was collected for 2 years post-treatment.

Main Results:

  • 80% of patients (136 out of 170) required no further treatment following optical urethrotomy.

  • The procedure demonstrated a high success rate in managing urethral strictures.
  • Two patients with associated urethral fistulae also achieved successful treatment outcomes.

    • Conclusions:

    • Optical urethrotomy is a highly effective and durable treatment for male urethral strictures.
    • The technique offers a favorable option for patients, minimizing the need for repeat interventions.
    • Successful management of associated fistulae highlights the versatility of the approach.
