Multivariate Analysis of Risk Factors for Long-Term Urethroplasty Outcome

Abstract

Length of urethral stricture (greater than 4 cm), prior urethroplasty and failed endoscopic therapy are predictive of failure after urethroplasty. Smoking and diabetes mellitus also may predict failure potentially secondary to microvascular damage.
