    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Context:

    • Urethral strictures present a common urological challenge requiring effective treatment.
    • Traditional blind urethrotomy carries risks of injury to adjacent anatomical structures.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of direct vision cold knife internal urethrotomy for treating urethral strictures.
    • To compare the outcomes of direct vision internal urethrotomy with other surgical approaches.

    Summary:

    • Direct vision cold knife internal urethrotomy provides superior precision, reducing the risk of injury to neighboring structures compared to blind techniques.
    • This surgical method is versatile, applicable to all urethral stricture types and origins, and can be performed under local anesthesia on an ambulatory basis.
    • The procedure demonstrates a favorable recurrence rate of 12%, with straightforward reoperation if necessary, emphasizing the importance of patient adherence to postoperative therapy.

    Impact:

    • Offers a safer and more precise surgical intervention for urethral strictures.
    • Facilitates outpatient treatment, potentially reducing healthcare costs and improving patient convenience.
    • Highlights the critical role of patient cooperation in postoperative management for long-term success.
