ABSTRACT
Strictures of the bulbous and membranous urethra up to 2.5 cm in length and after visual urethrotomy should be managed with an one-stage perineal anastomotic repair. With description of the surgical techniques the results of 41 patients, treated between 1977 and 1996, are presented. 28 patients had bulbomembraneous strictures as result from urethral disruption at the time of pelvic fracture. In 13 cases with bulbar strictures, 11 had been caused iatrogenously and 2 by infection. A successful outcome was achieved in over 90% (37 patients), equivalent to a maximum uroflow over 15 ml/s, an empty bladder after voiding and a radiographic wide anastomosis. Only 4 patients (9.8%) after surgery required an urethrotomy; two of them are dilated frequently.
