A retrospective analysis of the medical records of 65\u2009men with short-segment urethral strictures confirmed at our hospital over the past 5\u2009years was conducted. Patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical procedure: the cold knife urethral stricture endotomy group (direct vision internal urethrotomy [DVIU] group,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200933) and the green light top-firing sharp urethral stricture endotomy\u2009+\u2009urethral stricture scar vaporisation group (Photoselective vaporization of the prostate [PVP] group,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200932). Data before and after surgery were collected. The operation time was shorter and intraoperative bleeding was less in the PVP group than in the DVIU group, and the difference between the two groups was significant. There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups. There were significant differences in the maximum urinary flow rate, residual urine volume, International Prostate Symptom Score and quality of life score before and after surgery between the two groups. Green light top-firing sharp treatment of men\u2019s short-segment urethral stricture involves less injury, less bleeding and less complications than cold knife urethral stricture dissection and is a safe and effective method.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/15579883251336094","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,25]],"date-time":"2025-05-25T00:36:16Z","timestamp":1748133376000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Clinical Efficacy Study of Green Light Top-Firing Sharp for the Treatment of Short-Segment Urethral Strictures in Men"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Qunfeng","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, Hefei, China"},{"name":"Anhui Province Key Laboratory of Genitourinary Diseases, Anhui Medical University, Hefei, China"},{"name":"Department of Urology, Anqing Municipal Hospital, Anhui, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tong","family":"Bao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Anqing Municipal Hospital, Anhui, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhijie","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Anqing Municipal Hospital, Anhui, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-1706-2868","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zongyao","family":"Hao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, Hefei, China"},{"name":"Anhui Province Key Laboratory of Genitourinary Diseases, Anhui Medical University, Hefei, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ali M.
