Two patients with 24 Fr Foley and 30 of 35 (86%) patients with 22 Fr Foley catheter developed stricture of urethra. Distal bulbar urethra was the most common site of narrowing following TURP. Eighteen patients had Salvaris swab placed for traction and 12 patients required full-thigh traction, of which majority developed meatal stenosis.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>TURP is one of the common surgical procedures performed by urologists. Meatitis and meatal stenosis, if included as complications of TURP, would increase the overall incidence of PTS. Factors such as the size of resectoscope sheath used, size of catheter inserted, placement of Salvaris swab traction, and preoperative calibration of urethra have a significant impact on the ultimate outcome.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ua.ua_165_19","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,11]],"date-time":"2021-10-11T14:05:03Z","timestamp":1633961103000},"page":"329-335","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Post-transurethral resection of prostate urethral strictures"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Hariharasudhan","family":"Sekar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Velmurugan","family":"Palaniyandi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sriram","family":"Krishnamoorthy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Natarajan","family":"Kumaresan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-1-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"970","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eururo.2005.12.072","article-title":"Techniques and long-term results of surgical procedures for BPH","volume":"49","author":"Reich","year":"2006","journal-title":"Eur Urol"},{"key":"R2-1-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1053","DOI":"10.1089\/end.2011.0592","article-title":"In-hospital outcomes and cost assessment between bipolar versus monopolar transurethral resection of the prostate","volume":"26","author":"Sugihara","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Endourol"},{"key":"R3-1-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1015","DOI":"10.1016\/j.urology.2009.08.015","article-title":"Systematic review and meta-analysis of transurethral resection of the prostate versus minimally invasive procedures for the treatment of benign prostatic obstruction","volume":"75","author":"Burke","year":"2010","journal-title":"Urology"},{"key":"R4-1-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"384","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eururo.2010.06.005","article-title":"Meta-analysis of functional outcomes and complications following transurethral procedures for lower urinary tract symptoms resulting from benign prostatic enlargement","volume":"58","author":"Ahyai","year":"2010","journal-title":"Eur Urol"},{"key":"R5-1-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1055","DOI":"10.1016\/j.urology.2004.12.018","article-title":"Anterior urethral strictures: Etiology and characteristics","volume":"65","author":"Fenton","year":"2005","journal-title":"Urology"},{"key":"R6-1-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"18","DOI":"10.1016\/0090-4295(90)80005-8","article-title":"Urethral stricture following transurethral prostatectomy","volume":"35","author":"Nielsen","year":"1990","journal-title":"Urology"},{"key":"R7-1-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1333","DOI":"10.1089\/end.2009.0575","article-title":"Urethral strictures and bipolar transurethral resection in saline of the prostate: Fact or fiction?","volume":"24","author":"Michielsen","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Endourol"},{"key":"R8-1-20240828","first-page":"628","article-title":"Monopolar transurethral resection of the big prostate, experience at Prince Hussein Bin Abdullah Urology Center","volume":"61","author":"Al-Hammouri","year":"2011","journal-title":"J Pak Med Assoc"},{"key":"R10-1-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"557","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199802263380901","article-title":"The effect of finasteride on the risk of acute urinary retention and the need for surgical treatment among men with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
