Abstract
- A clinical evaluation has been undertaken of 41 patients with urethral stricture who have been treated with visual urethrotomy in the Department of Urology, Seoul National University Hospital during 3 years periods from 1983 to 1985. The over all success rate was 54%. The results were unrelated to the sites of the lesion, the causes of the stricture and the durations of the catheter drainage. However, the results of the obliterated strictures (12.5%) are more poor than the non-obliterated strictures (64%), and patients with nonobliterated stricture less than 2cm long had the best results (22%). The overall morbidity rate was 20%, six cases of false way, one case of incontinence, one case of penile hematoma. Twenty seven cases were followed up over 6 months and its success rate showed 44.4%.
