Abstract:
Surgical repair of a membranous urethral stricture is difficult because of the location and potential risks of incontinence, impotence and infertility. The treatment of 2 such strictures by the Badenoch pull-through urethroplasty is presented. The technique is described and its apparent advantages over other methods of repair are discussed.
