Abstract
The outcome of treatment for urethral stricture is evaluated in two groups of patients in a retrospective study: 51 patients were treated with urethroplasty and 41 with direct vision urethrotomy. The groups did not differ greatly as regards primary success. It was 59% in the urethroplasty group and 61% in the urethrotomy group. This favours the view that the primary treatment of a urethral stricture should be direct vision urethrotomy whenever possible.Keywords
