RESUMO
Urethral stricture is a common and recurrent male disease, and its treatment has been shifted from endoscopic management to urethroplasty, which has greatly improved the success rate of treatment. However, patients and doctors often have different evaluations of the sexual function and lower urinary tract symptoms after urethroplasty, which has attracted the attention of researchers. In recent years, specific questionnaires or scales have been used to evaluate the effects of preoperative and postoperative treatment, laying more stress on the subjective feelings of the patients. Such questionnaires or scales are called patient-reported outcome measures (PROM). This article reviews the application of PROM in recent studies of urethral stricture, focusing on sexual function and lower urinary tract symptoms, aiming to provide some reference for the development and application of PROM in the diagnosis and treatment of male urethral stricture.
