Presenting Symptoms of Anterior Urethral Stricture Disease: A Disease Specific, Patient Reported Questionnaire to Measure Outcomes

Abstract

While the American Urological Association symptom index captures the most common voiding complaints of men with urethral stricture, 21% of those who presented for urethroplasty did not have voiding symptoms assessed by the index. A validated, disease specific instrument is needed to fully capture the presenting voiding symptoms and sexual dysfunction complaints of men with urethral stricture disease.
