Non‐Transecting Anastomotic Urethroplasty Versus Excision and Primary Anastomosis for Non‐Traumatic Posterior Urethral Stenosis: A Preliminary Feasibility Study
NTAU demonstrated comparable surgical success rates to EPA with shorter operative times and better continence outcomes, particularly in patients with preserved bladder neck function. These preliminary results suggest that NTAU is a feasible alternative to EPA for non-traumatic PUS, though longer follow-up and larger studies are needed to confirm these findings.
