Urinary tract toxicity after radiation therapy impacts patients years after treatment of the malignancy. We describe the incidence of hematuria, urethral stricture and bladder cancer after radiation therapy, and measure the effect of the radiation therapy modality in patients with prostate cancer. Methods...
The overall incidence of bulbo-membranous urethral stricture or bladder neck contracture after radiation therapy is roughly 3鈥 16%. Time to stricture presentation is usually delayed (24 months) and insidious. Radiation urethral strictures typically have an unhealthy or pale appearance on cystoscopy, ...

A urethral stricture, or narrowing of the urethra, may cause decreased urine output. Symptoms include painful urination, urinary retention, and pelvic pain. Surgery is the only treatment for people with uncontrolled symptoms of urethral narrowing. Incontinence in Men Male urinary incontinence has a va...
Urethral stricture is a relatively common disease in men with an associated prevalence of 229-627 per 100,000 males, or 0.6% of the at risk population, who
We report our experience with successful treatment of 2 cases of severe recurrent vesicourethral anastomotic stricture after radical prostatectomy with endourethroplasty. Both patients had multiple failures of conventional treatments but have been free of stricture recurrence after endourethroplasty with 11 ...
Urethral stricture is related to scar tissue fibrosis, but its pathogenesis is still unclear. This study aims to explore the regulatory mechanism of circular RNA (circRNA) in the occurrence and development of urethral stricture. CircRNA microarray was em

External beam irradiation of the prostate for the treatment of localized prostate cancer is associated with small bowel injury, radiation proctitis, and urethral stricture (Gibbons et al., 1979, J. Urol. 121 :310- 312). At least two groups have employed transurethral radiation therapy as a ...
Patients with reoperative stricture are at an increased risk of subsequent stricture recurrence, because the conditions that led to the initial failure (hypospadias, radiation therapy, lichen sclerosis) may still be present. We consequently perform voiding cystourethrogram at the time of catheter remova...
