Urethral stricture is a common and complex urological pathology. The incidence has been steadily increasing in recent decades, varying from 0.6% to 0.9% in the population and depends on the age of patients. Moreover, extended and subtotal lesions are diagnosed in 15-18% of cases of urethral stricture disease. According to the definition of the International Urological Council of Leading Experts of the International Society of Urology (SIU/ICUD, 2014), urethral stricture is understood as a pathological narrowing of any part of the urethra surrounded by the spongy body, resulting from the development of spongiofibrosis. In our country, the most cited definition is that of M.I. Kogan: urethral stricture is a polyetiologic obstructive urethral lesion, accompanied by symptoms in the lower urinary tract. Recently, due to the pathogenesis and recurrence of this disease, many authors have used the term "stricture disease" as a definition, which is considered equivalent to urethral stricture..
