REPEAT URETHROTOMY AND DILATION FOR THE TREATMENT OF URETHRAL STRICTURE ARE NEITHER CLINICALLY EFFECTIVE NOR COST-EFFECTIVE

Abstract

A strategy of initial urethrotomy or urethral dilation followed by urethroplasty in patients with recurrent stricture proves to be the most cost-effective strategy. This financially based strategy concurs with evidence based best practice for urethral stricture management.
