Abstract
Urethral strictures are rare in children and correspond to either cong enital membranes, post-traumatic (endoscopy). The precise diagnosis is obtained by voiding cystometrography at the end of urography or by re trograde opacification. Congenital membranes should be treated by dila tation and limited strictures should be treated by urethrotomy. The ot her cases warrant urethroplasty with a free vesical or oral mucosal fl ap. Good results are obtained in about 90 % of cases.
