Is it necessary to use a drain after urethroplastyby perineal approach if we can avoid complications by pressure dressing?
Given the absolute absence of drainage related complications by applying only pressure dressing, we suggest that a perineal drain is not necessary after urethroplasty via perineal approach. Applying pressure dressing is an effective method to prevent fluid collection and related morbidities.
