Treatment Trends for Anterior Urethral Stricture: An International Survey on Eligibility for Staged Urethroplasty

We carried out a survey to find out why urologists choose one- or two-stage surgery to repair narrowing of the urethra, and when they perform the second stage. Two-stage procedures are often used for complex cases and patients who have had previous surgeries, with the second stage mostly done within 6 months. Better tools to measure patient symptoms are needed to improve care.
