ABSTRACT

Urethral stricture disease is a relatively common urologic condition with an estimated incidence of 9/100,000 men younger than 65 years. The risk of stricture is markedly increased in patients older than 65 years with an incidence of 21/100,000, which is almost half the incidence for urolithiasis in this population. This indicates the importance and high burden of strictures.[1] Symptomatic patients typically present with obstructive urinary symptoms (e.g., incomplete emptying, straining, weak stream, etc.) and occasionally have a history of recurrent infections, hematuria, bladder stones, or renal failure.[2] More than half of strictures arise in bulbar urethra.


La estenosis uretral es una afección urológica relativamente frecuente, con una incidencia estimada de 9/100.000 varones menores de 65 años. El riesgo de estenosis aumenta notablemente en los pacientes mayores de 65 años, con una incidencia de 21/100.000, que es casi la mitad de la incidencia de urolitiasis en esta población. Esto indica la importancia y la elevada carga de las estenosis.[1] Los pacientes sintomáticos suelen presentar síntomas urinarios obstructivos (por ejemplo, vaciado incompleto, esfuerzo, chorro débil, etc.) y, en ocasiones, tienen antecedentes de infecciones recurrentes, hematuria, cálculos vesicales o insuficiencia renal.[2] Más de la mitad de las estenosis surgen en la uretra bulbar.
