AUA Urethral Stricture Guideline Review
John Thomas Stoffel, MD, Associate Professor of Urology and Chief of the Division of Neurourology and Pelvic Reconstruction within the University of Michigan Department of Urology in Ann Arbor, Michigan, reviews the 2016 American Urological Association (AUA) Urethral Stricture Guideline, focusing on diagnosis & initial management, dilation & internal urethrotomy, as well as managing longer occurences with urethroplasty. He discusses how clinicians should think of urethral stricture at the time of diagnosis with different voiding symptoms, and identify the length and location of symptoms. Clinicians should treat short strictures, but avoid repeating dilation or DVIU if it recurs, while for longer ones they should treat with urethroplasty.
