Radiation-Induced Bulbomembranous Urethral Stricture in Males with Poor Performance Status

Clinical Scenario

This protocol applies to male patients who have developed a bulbomembranous urethral stricture as a consequence of prior radiation, and/or who present with poor performance status that limits more invasive management options.

    Key consideration: Radiation-induced bulbomembranous strictures, particularly in the context of reduced patient fitness, represent a distinct management challenge where standard reconstructive or endoscopic approaches may carry heightened risk.
  

Treatment Approach

For this specific population, the evidence-based approach centres on a long-term drainage strategy to ensure adequate urinary outflow while minimising procedural burden. The complete protocol — including patient selection criteria, procedural specifics, and follow-up — is available via the link below.
