BACKGROUND: Urethral strictures are a common and persistent pathology in urology with significant clinical repercussions. Our aim is to provide an overview of the general aspects of this condition.
METHODS: A comprehensive review of the literature from PubMed was conducted covering the period from 2020 to 2023. This was complemented by a synthesis of the latest guidelines from the American, European, and French Urological Associations (AUA, EAU, AFU), as well as references from textbooks.
RESULTS: Urethral stricture is defined by a narrowing of less than 16 French. The urethra is divided into posterior and anterior parts. The prevalence of urethral stricture is approximately 0.9%. The most common location for strictures is the anterior urethra, particularly its bulbar portion in males. The main causes are idiopathic, iatrogenic, traumatic, inflammatory, and infectious. A better understanding of urethral anatomy and histopathology provides a key element. Urethral reconstruction is based on prior urethral rest, detailed analysis of the stricture characteristics, and the use of grafts and flaps.
CONCLUSION: Urethral strictures remain a broad pathology. Their definition and epidemiology have been clarified. They require a thorough understanding of the anatomy, etiologies, and principles of urethral reconstruction to optimize management.
