Efficacy of Drug-coated Balloon Dilation Versus Endoscopic Standard Treatment in Posterior Urethral Stenosis: A Real-world Comparative Study
In conclusion, this study demonstrates that Optilume DCB dilation may be an effective treatment option for posterior urethral stenosis. These findings support the continued study of DCB as a promising, minimally invasive, and safe alternative for managing posterior urethral stenosis. Long-term studies including standardized follow-up intervals and parameters are warranted to validate these results and assess durability beyond the follow-up period.
