Preoperative and intraoperative factors predictive of complications and stricture recurrence following multiple urethroplasty techniques.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To investigate factors predictive of postoperative recurrence and complications in patients undergoing urethroplasty for stricture repair at a single center.
