The authors report the results of a multicentric prospective study on risk factors related to post-TURP stenosis. 47 different parameters were considered and 21 urethral stenoses (9% of 234 patients) are reported. Meatal stenoses are included, but were not considered for statistical correlation with other sites. Final data, statistically examined, show that electrotomes (Martin/Danieli), urethral lubricant and rubber catheters, singly or jointly, are possibly related to post-TURP urethral stenosis.
