Otis Internal Urethrotomy in the Treatment of Urethral Stricture Disease

Abstract
Internal urethrotomy was done on 216 urethral strictures in 192 patients. Of these cases, 71% were treated successfully with a 12% complication rate. Results were analyzed separately for different characteristics of the strictures and for several methods of internal urethrotomy. Nearly all types of strictures can be treated by internal urethrotomy with a reasonable rate of success and a minimum of morbidity.
