Abstract
Nitinol urethral stent was an effective treatment initially. However, by the third year, urethral stenosis and hypertrophic growth of the urethral mucosa usually require iterative endoscopic procedures (0.31Â per patient per year). Patients treated with permanent uretral stent deserve a yearly endoscopic follow-up. Safety and effectiveness of permanent uretral stent compared to surgical sphincterotomy to treat DSD are discussed.
