The choice of the best surgical technique for urethral stricture repair depends on the stricture length. Estimating the length of urethral strictures is therefore of utmost importance. Different clinical studies have proven that SUG has a higher sensitivity to evaluate the length of urethral strictures compared to RUG or VCUG. The goal of this study is to assess the feasibility of using SUG as single pre-operative assessment tool in patients with suspicion of anterior urethral strictures. In this way, use of RUG and/or VCUG could be omitted in the pre-operative work-up of patients with anterior urethral strictures, thereby avoiding significant radiation load of patients.
