The results are graded into 3 grades (excellent, satisfactory and poor) according to continence and flow rate of urine, 80 % of cases have stricture ( >2 cm) in length.
Those patients who are treated with perineal approach result in (92 %) excellent, in comparison to those with transpubic urethroplasty who give only (50 %) excellent results.
Patients with no history of urethral handling give (100 %) excellent results, while only (25 %) excellent results in patients with previous urethral surgical intervention.
