Objective: To find out etiology, site of urethral stricture and evaluation of various operative procedures used. Design : Prospective study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Urology, Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur from January 1998 to June 2000. Subjects and Methods: Patients diagnosed as stricture urethra at the Department of Urology. After all investigations, patients were subjected to various operative procedures. Results: We have found trauma as the leading cause of stricture urethra and bulbomembranous urethra being the most commonly affected site. Internal urethrotomy has best results in uncomplicated strictures of < 1cm length. Conclusion: Stricture urethra has very high morbidity. No procedure is 100% curative. Internal urethrotomy should be the procedure of choice.
