How Much Does the Midline Incision Add to Urethral Diameter After Tubularized Incised Plate Urethroplasty? An Experimental Animal Study

Abstract

The initial width of the midline relaxing incision significantly decreased after complete epithelialization. The average gain in urethral width was only 2 mm. Stenting appeared to increase the width of the healed incisions but not in a statistically significant manner.
