Abstract
Anterior urethral stricture mainly occurs in men and is a challenging
urological condition representing a significant workload for urologists. Here, we report
clinicopathological observations of patients with anterior urethral stricture and their
management at a tertiary care centre in India. This was a single-centre, prospective,
observational study conducted between March 2014 and September 2015. Male
patients with definitive diagnosis of anterior urethral stricture were eligible to
participate. Demographic details, details of stricture and treatment were collected.
Overall, 110 patients with anterior urethral stricture were enrolled in the study. The
highest incidence of anterior urethral stricture was seen in the age group of 20-50 years.
Trauma was the most common (35%) cause, and bulbar urethra (52%) was the most
common site of anterior urethral stricture. Patient with meatal stenosis were treated
with meatal dilatation along with topical therapy (n=11),
