In this study, we assessed the clinical relevance of RUG\u2009+\u2009VCUG, along with intraoperative assessment in measuring male urethral strictures.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Method:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>This study was a single-center retrospective study involving 134 male patients diagnosed with urethral stricture disease. All participants underwent RUG\u2009+\u2009VCUG before the intervention, and the results were interpreted by a single radiologist. The location and length of urethral strictures were assessed. The accuracy of urethral stricture measurements obtained from combined VCUG and RUG imaging was compared to intraoperative measurements, which served as the reference standard. Urethral strictures were classified into three types: membranous and bulbomembranous, bulbar, and penile.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>\n              A total of 130 patients were included (38.14\u2009\u00b1\u200912.05\u2009years) in the study.
