    Direct vision internal urethrotomy is a preferred treatment for male urethral strictures due to its ease and low complication rate. However, a significant recurrence rate necessitates extended postoperative observation, including regular flow rate measurements.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Procedures

    Background:

    • Urethral strictures affect a significant number of men.
    • Direct vision internal urethrotomy is a common surgical approach.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the recurrence rate of urethral strictures after direct vision internal urethrotomy.
    • To assess the optimal follow-up period for patients treated with this procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of 34 male patients who underwent direct vision internal urethrotomy.
    • Average follow-up period of 29 months (range 3-73 months).
    • Monitoring for stricture recurrence through clinical evaluation and flow rate measurements.

    Main Results:

    • A 53% recurrence rate was observed within the follow-up period.

  • Most recurrences were diagnosed within the first 12 months post-operation.
  • Late recurrences were noted up to 36 months after initial treatment.

    • Conclusions:

    • Direct vision internal urethrotomy is an effective and safe procedure for male urethral strictures.
    • Extended postoperative surveillance, including regular uroflowmetry, is crucial due to the potential for late recurrences.
    • Longer follow-up periods are recommended to accurately assess treatment outcomes.
