Patient-reported outcomes after buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty for bulbar urethral strictures: results of a prospective single-centre cohort study.

Significant improvements in voiding symptoms and quality of life after surgery were reported. Patients with good baseline erections recovered erectile function during follow-up, although a significant decrease in erectile function was observed at the first follow-up. This study highlights the importance of PROMs in urethral reconstructive surgery, emphasizing that success should not be defined only by stricture-free survival.
