A review of the literature concerning strictures of the meatus and fossa navicularis reveals that few techniques are entirely satisfactory, apart from major techniques which are difficult to perform. The author describes an easy technique which gave perfectly satisfactory results in the majority of 36 cases, 17 of which have a follow-up of more than 5 years.
