| Objective To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of PlasmaKinetic™ urethrotomy against cold knife direct vision internal urethrotomy in terms of recurrence rates. Patients and Methods A total of 136 male patients with urethral strictures were enrolled into the study. The patients were allocated to cold knife or PlasmaKinetic urethrotomy groups sequentially by using computer-generated numbers. Group A (PlasmaKinetic) and group B (cold knife) included 70 and 66 patients, respectively. All patients were reevaluated at the 3rd, 9th and 18th month postoperatively with uroflowmetry. Results Group A patients had a postoperative 3rd-month maximum flow rate value of 16.09 ml/s, whereas this same parameter was 15.15 ml/s in group B (p< 0.05). The urethral stricture recurrence rate up to the 9-month period was statistically significant for group A (14%) compared with group B (30%). When we compared the recurrence … |
