Reconstruction of traumatic and reoperative anterior urethral strictures via excisional techniques

Urol Clin North Am. 2013 Aug;40(3):403-6. doi: 10.1016/j.ucl.2013.04.011. Epub 2013 Jun 19.

Abstract

Reoperative urethroplasty is complicated by increased urethral and periurethral scar and the frequent persistence of comorbid conditions that caused the original failure. Nevertheless, by experienced clinicians, reoperative urethral reconstruction can be completed with success rates comparable with those of primary urethroplasty.
