Pediatric Urethral Strictures

Abstract

Pediatric urethral strictures are uncommon and there is a paucity of published series examining their management. Like their adult counterparts, pediatric urethral strictures can be a result of congenital, iatrogenic, inflammatory, traumatic, or idiopathic etiologies. Meatal stenosis should be managed by meatotomy or meatoplasty. Dilation typically fails and is thus discouraged.
