During a five-year period, direct vision internal urethrotomy was used for the treatment of urethral strictures in 34 men. After the primary operation the patients were followed for an average period of 29 months (range 3-73 months). During this period 53% of the patients were found to have one or more recurrences. In most cases the new stricture was diagnosed during the first 12 months of observation. In a few cases, re-stricture was found as late as 36 months after the first treatment. Because of this tendency, a longer period of postoperative observation, including flow rate measurements at regular intervals is recommended. The operation is preferred for the treatment of strictures in the male urethra because it is easy to master and because of the low rate of complications.
在五年期间，34名男性患者接受了直视下内尿道切开术治疗尿道狭窄。初次手术后，患者平均随访29个月（范围3 - 73个月）。在此期间，53%的患者出现了一次或多次复发。大多数情况下，新的狭窄在观察的前12个月内被诊断出来。少数情况下，首次治疗后36个月才发现再次狭窄。由于这种趋势，建议进行更长时间的术后观察，包括定期测量尿流率。该手术因其易于掌握且并发症发生率低，而更适合用于治疗男性尿道狭窄。
