Functional evaluation of anterior urethral strictures with combined antegrade and retrograde urethrography

Abstract

The merits of radiological examination for functional evaluation of urethral strictures of the anterior male urethra were studied by comparing the results of combined retro- and antegrade urethrography with the patient's maximum urinary flow-rate. A correlation was found between stricture diameter and maximum flow-rate (r=0.67) and a still higher correlation between the ratio stricture diameter-prestenotic urethral diameter and the flow-rate (r=0.73). A low but significant (p less than 0.05) negative correlation was obtained between the prestenotic urethral diameter and the flow-rate (r=0.25).
