Abstract

The authors relate a retrospective study on 30 cases of urethral stenosis and four cases of urethral rupture with a mean follow up of 28 months (8 to 44 months). The mean age of the patients was 47.5 years (6 to 85 years). The main aetiology was inflammatory sclerosis (73.5%). The predilection was bulbar (52.94%). The main symptom was constituted by dysuria (n = 24). The peri-urethral sclerosis was found in 44, 12% of cases. The penile flap as tube or patch. Immediate complications were a loosen of sutures (n = 7), urinary fistula (n = 4). The later complications were essentially recidives (n = 6). The results were good in 73.5% of cases.
