Urethral strictures in boys. 1987

While common in adult males, urethral strictures are comparatively rare in boys. We report our experience with this condition in 19 boys. Ten of the strictures were iatrogenic, seven traumatic, and three inflammatory in origin. Dilation is reportedly unsatisfactory for the management of most urethral strictures in children. In our series, however, 9 patients (47.3%) underwent urethral dilation as the only definitive form of treatment, while urethroplasty was successfully performed in the other 10 cases.
