We investigated the efficacy of urethral reconstruction in male patients with iatrogenic urethral stricture after transurethral prostate surgery....
We retrospectively reviewed the cases of 82 patients who underwent urethral reconstruction for iatrogenic urethral stricture caused by transurethral prostate surgery between August 2011 and July 2021....
The median patient age was 72 years, and the stricture site was the urethral meatus in eight (9.8%) patients, penoscrotal junction in 42 (51.2%), and proximal bulbar urethra in 26 (31.7%). Six patient...
Urethral reconstruction was effective for urethral stricture due to transurethral prostate surgery in both subjective and objective aspects....
To demonstrate a new minimally invasive endoscopic approach to urethroplasty....
The procedure was performed in a male patient with prior history of prostate cancer managed by radiation who subsequently developed an 8 mm flow-limiting membranous urethral stricture. After stricture...
The procedure lasted 2.5 hours without any complications. Estimated blood loss was 50cc, and the patient was discharged after the procedure. Catheter was removed at 4weeks. Cystoscopy at 10weeks post-...
Endoscopic urethroplasty using buccal graft appears to offer a safe and effective repair option for management of ureteral strictures....
To investigate the predictive value of systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in recurrence of urethral stricture in patients undergoing internal urethrotomy....
In this two-center, retrospective study, 703 patients who had internal urethrotomy for urethral stricture were included. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics and operative data were o...
There was no significant difference in the mean age between the patients with and without recurrence. There was a significant difference in the mean SII values and albumin levels between the recurrenc...
Using the SII the inflammatory state of the urethral tissue can be evaluated. Thus the risk of recurrence after internal urethrotomy operation can be predicted. Open urethroplasty technique instead of...
We present a novel outpatient transurethral dorsal buccal graft urethroplasty for managing proximal female urethral strictures....
A 69-year-old female presented with a 2.5-year history of slowing urinary stream. After discussing treatment options, she opted for transurethral dorsal buccal graft urethroplasty. The procedure begin...
Following the outpatient procedure, she had an uneventful recovery, including catheter removal at 3 weeks. At 3 months she had significant improvement in her urinary stream and no stress incontinence....
The transurethral approach to dorsal buccal graft urethroplasty is technically feasible and, in the short term, effective. Longer follow-up and larger series are needed to validate this procedure....
Perineal urethrostomy and urethroplasty are very good options for complex and long anterior urethral strictures. A perineal urethroplasty is usually a neglected option. To our knowledge, a comparative...
A prospective comparative study of augmentation urethroplasty and perineal urethroplasty for long anterior urethral stricture. it was defined by strictures of more than 3 cm. We compared demographic d...
Both groups had 40 patients each. IPSS score improvement for PU and AUP were 20 and 19.6, respectively(...
Perineal urethrostomy is a good but neglected option for complex and long anterior urethral strictures and it should be considered one of the reliable treatment option for patients with long-segment u...
Urethral stricture disease refers to narrowing of the urethral lumen obstructing the flow of urine. Urethral strictures can significantly impact daily life due to incontinence, incomplete emptying, he...
Current therapeutic modalities to treat urethral strictures are associated with several challenges and shortcomings. Therefore, significant strides have been made to develop strategies with minimal si...
Hypoandrogenism may have an association with urethral stricture. This study aimed to identify and quantify the association between testosterone levels and urethral stricture....
A case-control study was conducted from January 2019 to January 2021. The case group included patients diagnosed with anterior urethral stricture who visited our urethral office of the urology departm...
A total of 149 cases (mean age 59.5) were compared to 67 controls (64.3). Urethral stricture cases showed significantly lower mean total testosterone than controls (394 ng/dL vs 488 ng/dL). Similarly,...
Our study demonstrates an independent association between hypoandrogenism and anterior urethral stricture....
To predict the post transurethral prostate resection(TURP) urethral stricture probability by applying different machine learning algorithms using the data obtained from preoperative blood parameters....
A retrospective analysis of data from patients who underwent bipolar-TURP encompassing patient characteristics, preoperative routine blood test outcomes, and post-surgery uroflowmetry were used to dev...
A total of 109 patients' data (55 patients without urethral stricture and 54 patients with urethral stricture) were included in the study after implementing strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. Th...
Our machine learning models' accuracy in predicting the post-TURP urethral stricture probability has demonstrated significant success. Exploring prospective studies that integrate supplementary variab...
To assess outcomes of transecting vs non-transecting urethroplasty for bulbar urethral stricture in terms of stricture recurrence rate, sexual dysfunction, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs...
Electronic literature searches were conducted using PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Embase databases. The studied population was limited to men with bulbar urethral stricture included in ...
In all, 694 studies were screened with 72 identified as relevant. Finally, 19 studies were suitable for analysis. The pooled difference between the transecting and non-transecting groups relating to s...
Our analysis of available evidence indicates that both transecting and non-transecting urethroplasties, are equal in terms of the recurrence rate. On the other hand, non-transecting techniques are bet...
