Papers・Description | OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the utility of uroflowmetry in predicting anatomical success following urethroplasty based on real-world clinical data. METHODS: Data from 100 male patients who underwent urethroplasty for urethral strictures at our institute were analyzed. Postoperative anatomical success was determined as the passage of a 16.2 Fr flexible endoscope after approximately 4 months following the procedure. Sensitivity and specificity of the maximal flow rate (Q(max) ), average flow rate (Q(ave) ), and Q(max) - Q(ave) for anatomical success were determined, along with receiver operating characteristic analysis. The optimal cutoff was set using Youden's index. |
