    Urethral stricture (US) is characterized by fibrotic scar formation, leading to significant impairment of voiding functions.

    Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) is a non-invasive treatment that may enhance wound healing and reduce complications associated with urethral injury.

  • 3

    The study utilized 28 male New Zealand rabbits to evaluate the effects of HBO on urethral stricture development after induced injury.

  • 4

    Rabbits were divided into three groups: sham, untreated control, and HBO treatment, to assess the impact of HBO on stricture formation.

    Results from the study could provide insights into new treatment options for urethral stricture, addressing the limitations of current therapies.
