    The study evaluated long-term outcomes of anterior urethroplasty using anatomical, functional, patient-reported, and reintervention criteria.

  • 2

    A follow-up of at least 12 months is recommended, as one-third of anatomical recurrences were asymptomatic after one year.

  • 3

    Success criteria for urethroplasty included anatomical patency, functional flow rates, absence of symptoms, and no need for further procedures.

  • 4

    The study included 138 male patients with a mean follow-up of 35 months, focusing on various demographic and clinical variables.

  • 5

    Variability in published outcomes complicates comparisons, highlighting the need for standardized reporting in urethroplasty studies.
