| الوصف: | Background: The optimal treatment for complex urethral stricture (CUS) is yet to be determined. Comparisons of methods based on validated questionnaires or objective outcome measures are lacking. Objective: To compare proximal urethrostomy and urethroplasty for CUS using objective measures and validated questionnaires, and to evaluate trends in subgroups of patients who underwent proximal urethrostomy as the intended definitive treatment versus first-stage urethroplasty. Design, setting, and participants: We identified all patients who underwent proximal urethrostomy at our center from 2004 to 2021. The control group comprised patients who underwent urethroplasty for CUS (strictures >6 cm, recurrent posturethroplasty strictures, or CUS due to lichen sclerosus or past hypospadias surgery). Outcome measurements and statistical analysis: The primary outcome was a recurrent stricture at a minimal follow-up of 1 yr. The secondary outcomes included validated questionnaires, uroflowmetry, and residual urine volume. Survival was compared by a Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results and limitations: The study included 57 proximal urethrostomy and 75 urethroplasty patients. Results for these two groups were as follows: the cumulative incidence of stricture recurrence over a median follow-up of 46 mo was 22.6% for proximal urethrostomy versus 36.2% for urethroplasty (p = 0.106); no statistically significant differences were observed between groups in terms of postoperative quality of urination or life, satisfaction with outcome, and erectile function. Both groups had a significant improvement in urinary flow after surgery (19.65 vs 20.29 ml/s), with no difference between the groups (p = 0.796); the proximal urethrostomy group had a significant improvement in postvoid residual after surgery, but there was no difference between the groups in the last follow-up visit (79.16 vs 52.03 ml; p = 0.245). A subgroup analysis of the proximal urethrostomy group showed no significant differences in cumulative primary or secondary outcomes. Limitations included the retrospective design and the relatively small study population. Conclusions: Comparisons of the two groups revealed no significant differences in stricture recurrence, results of validated questionnaires, or objective measures of urination. Patient summary: Proximal urethrostomy is equivalent to urethral reconstruction, and it should be offered as a viable solution for complex urethral stricture. |
