Management of Anterior Urethral Stricture

aurethral stricture is fibrotic tissues that render the normally compliant urethral lumen inelastic. This results in narrowing of the urethral lumen and slowing of urine flow through it (Schultz et al., 1989). Once initiated, fibrosis within the corpus spongiosum can cause constriction of the urethral lumen & if there is also infection, this can cause micro abscess formation within the urethral glands, which makes fibrosis worse and may lead to periurethral extension of fibrosis (Andrich and Mundy, 2000).
