    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery

    Background:

    • Urethral strictures are a common urological condition causing significant patient morbidity.
    • Traditional treatments can be invasive and associated with high recurrence rates.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and success rate of visual internal urethrotomy for treating urethral strictures.
    • To assess the outcomes of visual internal urethrotomy in a large patient cohort.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 103 patients with urethral strictures underwent visual internal urethrotomy.
    • The procedure was primarily performed under local anesthesia.
    • Complementary treatments included urethral catheterization (48 hours) or urethral splinting (2 weeks) in select cases.

    Main Results:

    • Visual internal urethrotomy demonstrated a high overall success rate of 95.1%.
    • The procedure was well-tolerated, with most patients receiving local anesthesia.

    Conclusions:

    • Visual internal urethrotomy is a highly effective treatment for urethral strictures.
    • This minimally invasive approach offers excellent outcomes and a favorable safety profile for managing urethral strictures.
