Abstract
Patients (100) who had undergone 162 urethrotomies were reviewed. Factors which influenced the outcome of the procedure are discussed. Peri-operative infection occurred in 38% of cases and significantly increased the recurrence rate unless the patients were treated with antibiotics.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
