“…The success rate is higher the shorter the stricture (<1 cm) [1]. Authors such as Mouss [10] and Al-Dabbagh [11] found 69.3% and 77% success rates respectively in their study. It should be noted that OIU is not really indicated in recurrent urethral strictures [1].…”

“…The essential conditions for the success of AU are complete excision of the urethral fibrosis and adjacent tissues, wide suture, without tension in the healthy zone of the urethra [2]. The success rate for the management of urethral stricture in sub-Saharan Africa is around 70% to 80% [2] [6] [10]. It is a little difficult to compare our results with those of the literature.…”

Background: Urethral stricture is a pathology frequently encountered in urological practice. Management is often surgical, with possible recurrences. What about this pathology in Kara, a semi-urban city? Objective: Assess the management of male urethral stricture in Kara. Patients and Methods: This was a descriptive study with retrospective data collection. The study took place in the urology department of the teaching hospital of Kara, from December 2020 to December 2022. All cases of male urethral stricture, surgically treated at the teaching hospital of Kara, were listed. The inclusion criteria were as follows: any patient who had been treated surgically for male urethral stricture in the urology department of the teaching Hospital of Kara. The operating theater register and hospital records were used to collect the data. The diagnosis of urethral stricture had been made with retrograde urethrogram. A total of 24 patients were treated for male urethral stricture during the study period. The following variables were studied: age, reason for consultation, location, length, and etiology of the stricture; the type of treatment received: optical internal urethrotomy, or anastomotic urethroplasty, and the results. The result was considered good if, after removal of the urethral catheter, the patient regained his micturition without the need for dilatation; the result was considered average if, after removal of the urethral catheter, the patient needed one or more dilatation sessions to regain urination; the result was considered poor if, after removal of the catheter, the patient did not regain good micturition despite the urethral dilatation sessions. Microsoft excel and epi info 7 software were used for data processing. Results: The average age of our patients was 43.7 years ± 10.18 with extremes ranging from 27 to 70 years. The most represented age groups were that of 40 to 50 years, with
