Development and Validation of the Length, Segment, and Etiology Anterior Urethral Stricture Disease Staging System Using Longitudinal Urethroplasty Outcomes Data From the Trauma and Urologic Reconstructive Network of Surgeons
Each stage and substage of this novel LSE staging system was shown to provide unique information on stricture characteristics, repairs, and surgical outcomes. The LSE staging system will improve communication of stricture complexity/severity with our patients and organize aUSD for multi-institutional outcomes studies and clinical trial recruitment purposes.
