| dc.description.abstract | The management of posterior urethral obliteration remains a surgical challenge. We report our experience with 5 patients treated endoscopically for posterior urethral obliteration. We performed endoscopic reconstitution of the urethra followed by temporary self-dilation in five patients with complete short posterior urethral obliteration (less than 3 cm). Average follow-up is 31 months (21-53 months). During follow-up 4 of these patients required 1 or 2 internal urethrotomies within the first 4 to 24 months after treatment. But, any urethral stricture has not been established until the average 23.2 months (21 to 27 months). The other fifth patient has no complication at twenty-first month postoperatively. One patient had impotence after the injury. Impotence continued and total incontinence developed after the endoscopic treatment. We believe that endoscopic treatment followed by temporary self-dilation could be a reasonable alternative to open urethroplasty in patients with an impassable short stricture. | en_US |
