Analysis of the urethral stricture score and patient-related factors as predictors of outcomes following oral mucosal graft urethroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The complexity of urethral strictures can predict outcomes following urethroplasty. The previously described urethral stricture score (U score) considered only stricture-related factors to grade the complexity of urethral strictures and to predict recurrence post urethroplasty, but not considered patient-related factors for the same. We aimed to study the correlation of both of these factors to the outcomes of oral mucosal graft urethroplasty.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed data of 101 patients who underwent oral mucosal graft urethroplasty in our institute with a minimum follow-up of 6 months. Baseline patient characteristics and stricture-related parameters were noted. The U score was calculated for all patients which consisted of the length, location, numbe
