Description
Łukasz Białek and colleagues compare surgical repairs for urethral narrowing that follows prostate surgery in a 2026 multicentre study. Scarring after transurethral resection of the prostate can block urine flow, and urethroplasty, surgical rebuilding of the tube, remains the definitive fix for repeat cases.
Three Polish reconstructive centres reviewed 147 men treated between 2015 and 2022, with an average age of sixty-nine. Most strictures sat in the bulbar section, while penile ones ran longer on average. Half received a joining repair that cuts out the scar, while others received augmentation that widens the tube with added tissue. Follow-up tracked freedom from further procedures.
