Sixty three (63) male patients with anterior urethral stricture disease were included. All the patients have their diagnosis confirmed by voiding retrograde cystourethrogram (VCUG) or during surgical intervention. Anterior urethral stricture constitutes 41.1% of all urethral stricture. Hospital prevalence was 4.2%. Patient average age was 50.5 years. Dysuria and urinary retention were the major complaints representing respectively 66.7% and 33.3%. The infectious cause of urethral stricture was 71.1% of cases, followed by iatrogenic and traumatic causes with respectively 17.4% and 11.1% of cases. Voiding retrograde urethrocystogram (VCUG) was the only diagnostic procedure. Single urethral stenosis of the anterior urethra was about 88.8% while multiple stenosis constituted about 11.2%. Bulbar urethral stricture was the major location for the stenosis. Urine analysis was performed on 82.5% patients and ruled out urinary infections in 69.2% of cases with identification and isolation of Escherichia Coli in 77.7%. Majority of patients (61.9%) had open surgery of which 39.7% had end to end resection and anastomosis. Dilatation constituted 33.3% of treatment of the stricture of the anterior urethra.
