The median duration of lower urinary tract symptoms prior to urethroplasty was 16\u00a0years. 87% had undergone previous dilations. At a median follow-up of 12.2\u00a0months (range 1\u201381\u00a0months), four patients required a secondary procedure for obstruction with an overall success rate of 83%. One patient developed de novo stress urinary incontinence and one patient developed urge urinary incontinence.
