Abstract

To evaluate a historical series of urethral stenosis retrospectively. To study the urinary, genital and systemic complications. To study risk factors for the development of such complications and, based on them, identify groups of patients more susceptible to complications with the aim to establish prophylactic, therapeutic or follow-up actions. We studied 175 male patients with urethral stenosis, which constitute the historical series of male urethral stenosis treated in the Hospital General Universitario in Alicante from 1977 to 1987 (11 years).

Complication sites in order of frequency were: 628 (78.99%) urinary tract, 111 (13.96%) genital system, 44 (5.53%) systemic and 12 (1.50%) abdominal wall hernias.
