    Optical urethrotomy offers a safe and effective outpatient treatment for urethral stricture. This procedure showed a 66% cure rate, with non-cured patients experiencing less frequent dilations, indicating its overall benefit.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery

    Background:

    • Urethral stricture is a condition requiring effective treatment.
    • Optical urethrotomy is an emerging therapeutic option.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of optical urethrotomy for treating urethral stricture.
    • To assess outcomes in ambulatory patients undergoing the procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • 100 ambulatory patients with urethral stricture underwent optical urethrotomy.
    • Procedures were performed using topical anesthesia, with sedation in some cases.
    • Patients were followed for a minimum of one year post-procedure.

    Main Results:

    • A 66% cure rate was achieved after a single optical urethrotomy procedure.
