Methods: Posterior urethral obliteration cases at the membranous urethra (n = 154) were analyzed from January 1997 to December 2006. The mean length of the urethral obliteration was 4.

Between January 2003 and July 2007, 125 male patients with urethral strictures underwent urethroplasty, and pre- and post-surgery erectile function was assessed using these three questionnaires. A formula to predict the probability of ED after urethroplasty was derived.
