Urethral stricture disease in children

M W Harshman, W J Cromie, A J Wein

    The Journal of Urology
    |November 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Urethroplasty is the preferred treatment for pediatric urethral strictures, offering better outcomes than dilation alone. One-stage repairs are more efficient than multistage procedures for these complex cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Reconstructive Urology

    Background:

    • Urethral stricture disease in children presents unique challenges.
    • Trauma is a significant cause of urethral strictures in pediatric patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the outcomes of various surgical interventions for urethral strictures in children.
    • To compare the efficacy of one-stage urethroplasty, multistage repair, and dilation.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 25 pediatric patients treated between 1970 and 1979.
    • Analysis of treatment modalities including dilation, one-stage repair, and multistage skin inlay urethroplasty.
    • Evaluation of etiological factors, procedural requirements, and functional outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Trauma was the leading cause of urethral strictures in 48% of cases.
    • One-stage urethroplasty and multistage skin inlay urethroplasty yielded excellent results.
    • One-stage repairs averaged 1.1 procedures per patient, significantly fewer than multistage repairs (3.8 procedures).
    • Dilation alone was successful in only 20% of cases and required an average of 1.7 procedures.
    • All seven children with pelvic fractures and prostatomembranous urethral disruption achieved successful anatomical results.

    Conclusions:

    • Dilation is generally unacceptable for managing pediatric urethral strictures.
    • Urethroplasty should be considered early in the treatment plan for pediatric urethral strictures.
    • One-stage urethroplasty is preferable to multistage repair when feasible, offering better efficiency.
