dc.description.abstractThe management of posterior urethral obliteration remains a surgical challenge. 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 followup is 15 months (4-36 months). During follow up 4 of these patients required 1 or 2 internal urethrotomies within the first 4 to 24 months after treatment. The other fifth patient has no complication at fourth 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
