Abstract
Single VIU is successful for about one-quarter of pediatric patients with a urethral stricture. With repeated VIUs or dilatations 71% of the patients can achieve success. In strictures less than 2Â cm, up to three VIUs can be attempted, but longer strictures need open correction if the patient does not wish to follow the home dilatation program.
