- Abstract
Objective To investigate the relationship between inflammatory markers routinely examined in blood tests and their ratios with the development of recurrence after urethral stricture treatment. Material and Method A total of 142 patients who underwent internal urethrotomy were included in the study. Data were retrospectively reviewed. Patient ages, comorbidity status, medical treatments used, habits, previous surgical procedures, pre- and post-procedural uroflowmetry values, stricture locations and lengths, and preoperative and postoperative urine and blood test results were recorded. Results The recurrence rate within the first year after internal urethrotomy was determined to be 25.4%. The mean recurrence period was 8.9±1.9 months, ranging from 1 to 12 months, with a median recurrence period of 6 months. When the etiological factors causing urethral stricture were examined, iatrogenic causes were observed to be the most common. There were statistically significant differences in lymphocyte count, platelet count, platelet-lymphocyte ratio, and red cell distribution width-platelet ratio between the group with recurrence and the group without recurrence (p<0.05). Conclusion Platelet-lymphocyte ratio and red cell distribution width-platelet ratio can be used to predict possible recurrences after internal urethrotomy. The main advantages of both parameters are their simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and easy accessibility for clinical use.
