Abstract

The etiology of urethral strictures has a significant impact on stricture location and the chance of success with reconstruction. Likewise the histology of urethral strictures reflects the etiology and the stricture location. Several classification schemata have been proposed for urethral strictures, with the goal of stratifying strictures into those that are straightforward vs. complex and those that can be managed endoscopically vs. those that require open urethroplasty.
