Abstract
A total of 17 children aged 5 to 15 years with the diagnosis of posttraumatic posterior urethral stricture were operated upon using a pull-in procedure during the last 9 years. Among the diagnostic tools, synchronous inspection of both the anterior and posterior urethra by cystoscopy yielded the most valuable information. A success rate of 70% was achieved with the procedure plus postoperative re-catheterization. A pedunculated tube prepared from the scrotal skin cured 2 patients after a series of failed operations. Difficult voiding occurring after removal of the stent due to an inappropriate pressure gradient created between the bladder neck and urethra usually benefits from short-term catheterization. Mild chordee was present in 1 patient. Ejaculation and erection were present in 3 children who reached puberty.
