SURGICAL APPROACH TO THE TREATMENT OF “SPHINCTERIC STRICTURES” OF THE URETHRA
Main Article Content
Abstract
Elimination of scar narrowing and restoration of patency of the urethral lumen “at any cost” often entails certain undesirable consequences and can lead to the development of so-called “sphincteric strictures”, because fibrous changes affect the urethral sphincter, or are localized at the border of the bulbous and membranous parts of the urethra. For urethral strictures, the most appropriate option should be used in accordance with the specific clinical situation.
