Abstract:
Anterior urethral strictures include penile, bulbar and panurethral strictures. In the literature various techniques have been mentioned for their management from single stage to two-stage approach. There are no guidelines concerning the use of dorsal or ventral approaches in bulbar urethroplasty. We share our simplified algorithm for the management of anterior urethral strictures. This algorithm is based on the last three decades of experience in urethroplasty and surgeries all around the globe.
