[Urethral strictures--operative strategy]. / Urethralstriktur--operative Konzepte.

ABSTRACT

Urethral strictures are very commonly encountered in urologists' day-to-day work. Many specific therapeutic and reconstructive procedures are available for treatment of the different types of urethral stricture, all of which can be recommended when the indications for each are carefully observed. This paper highlights operative concepts that allow a surgical therapy that is tailored to the localisation and length of the stricture and the severity of spongiofibrosis.
