Standard treatments for urethral strictures include multiple options such as the simple urethral dilatation, the telescope-guided internal cutting (urethrotomy), and the open urethroplasty, with variable results in terms of adverse events, stricture recurrence, and the satisfaction of the patient. Wong et al1 recently found no sufficient data to perform meta-analysis or reliably determine effect size of clinical studies on patients with urethral strictures treated with conservative or reconstructive surgery.
