Urethral strictures and bladder neck contractures (BNCs) can be significantly morbid for patients and may require intervention for effective urinary drainage. We hypothesized patients with abnormal scarring disorders, such as keloids or hypertrophic scars, are at elevated risks of urethroplasty failure as well as postprocedural urethral strictures and BNCs. We queried the TriNetX database to determine the risk of urethroplasty failure for patients with abnormal scarring disorders compared to controls.

Data on clinical symptoms, VUDS findings, and medical comorbidities including medical illness and previous surgical history were recorded and examined.

Overactive bladder (OAB) has been reported to be related to BOO, although it can also be idiopathic. The storage symptoms of BOO are often similar to those of OAB.
