Posterior urethral stenosis: Contemporary management options

Abstract Posterior urethral stenosis (PUS) is a known complication following prostate cancer treatment as well as other benign endoscopic treatments. Patients with PUS often fail initial endoscopic treatments and have persistent symptoms negatively affecting quality of life. In the past decade, a variety of different surgical techniques and approaches have changed the landscape of PUS management. The goal of this review is to provide details on the historical, current, and future direction of the surgical management for PUS.
