A total of 17 patients with benign urethral strictures underwent treatment with circumferential application of neodymium: YAG laser irradiation to the strictured area. Foley catheter drainage was used postoperatively in only 2 patients and no treatment complications were observed. Although early postoperative results were good 11 patients (64 per cent) suffered recurrent stricture within 6 months of treatment. With the method described, neodymium: YAG laser phototherapy of urethral strictures appears to offer no treatment advantages over conventional therapy and is associated with a high recurrence rate.
共有17例良性尿道狭窄患者接受了钕:钇铝石榴石激光对狭窄区域进行环形照射的治疗。术后仅2例患者使用了Foley导尿管引流，未观察到治疗并发症。尽管术后早期效果良好，但11例患者(64%)在治疗后6个月内出现了复发性狭窄。采用所述方法，钕:钇铝石榴石激光光疗尿道狭窄似乎并不比传统疗法具有治疗优势，且复发率较高。
