Abstract
Experience with various 1 stage repairs for patients with urethral strictures (patch graft, excision and reanastomosis techniques) was compared to reports on multistaged urethroplasties (Johanson, Leadbetter-Johanson and Turner-Warwick). Increased hospitalization, absence from employment and the morbidity of multiple anesthetics and operations are features of the multistaged approaches compared to the 1 stage operations. No advantage was seen when initial or final success rates were compared.This publication has 28 references indexed in Scilit:
