Ventral BMG urethroplasty fails in approximately one out of five patients. Despite DVIU as a rescue treatment being a good option, its success rate becomes lower as the number of DVIU treatments performed increases. Conversely, open urethroplasty improves patient outcomes in almost three out of four patients, even in the case of previous failed DVIU treatments for stricture recurrence.
