| مستخلص: | Background: Management of urethral stricture disease remains a challenge in the field of urology. Though several options exist for its management, urethroplasty has proved to give the best outcome. Methodology: This is a retrospective study of urethral strictures and urethroplasties for 5years spanning from January 2015 to December 2019 at a tertiary teaching hospital in Anambra, South East Nigeria. Data was retrieved from the case notes of all the urethral strictures cases which presented to our facility in these 5 years and analysed using Microsoft Excel. Results: A total of 186 patients were diagnosed with urethral stricture disease within the 5 years' period. However, only 28 (15.1%) of them had urethroplasty within the period, mostly due to lack of fund. Of those who had urethroplasty, their ages ranged from 4 - 64 years with a median of 29.50 years. Motor vehicular road traffic accident (RTA) was the most common (46.43%) aetiology. Excision and anastomosis was the most common type of urethroplasty performed (71.43%) and the most common complication was stricture recurrence (32.14%). Conclusion: Though urethroplasty techniques have become more refined, accessibility of care continues to hamper treatment in Sub-Saharan Africa due to socioeconomic issues. Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interests. (Copyright © 2023 Nigerian Medical Association.) |
