Revisiting One-Stage Urethroplasties for Distal Urethral Strictures.

The vast majority of distal urethral strictures are amenable to a distal one-stage urethroplasty, avoiding the use of grafts and/or flaps while achieving reasonable outcomes. This limited approach, at least initially, is associated with shorter operative time and time of catheter placement and avoids morbidity associated with graft or flap harvesting. Spraying of urine is seldomly encountered and comparable to other approaches addressing distal urethral strictures.
