Patients with complete pre- and postoperative data from a validated patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire\u2013Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-SF), along with postoperative cystoscopic findings, were included. Worsening continence (WC) was defined as an increase in ICIQ-SF total score at 6 months. Stricture-free (SF) status was defined as the smooth passage of a cystoscope. The impact of WC and SF status on postoperative QoL and patient satisfaction was analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among the 34 patients (excision and primary anastomosis: 13, nontransecting anastomotic urethroplasty: 20, and onlay augmentation: 1), 32 (94%) achieved SF status. WC occurred in 5 (14%) patients, while 33 (97%) remained socially pad-free.
