Both groups were assessed for maximum urinary flow 6 months after surgery, cause of the stricture, site of the stricture and success rate was assessed between both variables. T-test and Chi Square test with P < 0.05 as statistically significant were used to assess various outcomes between both groups.

Results: The mean age in urethroplasty group was 44.43±10.618 years while in endoscopic urethrotomy group the mean age was 48.23±11.790. Urethroplasty was significantly successful in 80% patients whereas endoscopic urethrotomy was successful in 43.3% patients (P = 0.003).
