ROBUST III showed impressive results for Optilume® DCB dilation – but heterogeneous controls, loss to follow-up & limited subgroup data leave questions open. Can BALDIKA, FIRST-CARE & RUSTIC fill the gaps?
Our Clinical Trial Update takes a critical look 🔍https://t.co/iHEAmvtwdx
How are urologists using drug-coated balloons for urethral strictures? Our new international survey of 102 urologists across 14 countries reveals wide variation — and frequent off-label use. Out now in @wjurol https://t.co/WiNHegTkzI @elainejredmond https://t.co/XxMhlbwPuG
Interventional cardiology transformed cardiac surgery forever. Could robotic & endoscopic urology do the same to reconstructive urology?
Our @BJUIjournal editorial explores what's at stake — and what we must do next. https://t.co/MTPiyYy2dc @ManticaGu@wesley_verla@mwvetterlein
We happily introduce the stricture-fecta, a Delphi consensus-based framework for standardized outcome reporting in urethral reconstruction.
https://t.co/3P1G1KgpQY We deeply appreciate the contribution of the international Stricture-fecta Delphi Consensus Panel!

💡 Still a lot be learned from our DoVe trial (NCT04551417); DM if you want to join! @EAU_YAURecon
We’ve summarized evidence from the ROBUST trials on #Optilume to highlight when paclitaxel-coated balloon dilation for #urethralstricture works, needs caution, or should be avoided. Read more: https://t.co/HlCJ3ddvEQ @EurUrolFocus@Uroweb@EAUYAUrology
Welcoming the reconstructive urology community to Hamburg! Prof. Margit Fisch kicks off IMORU IX @UKEHamburg with live and semi-live surgeries on genitourinary complications. @JillC_Buckley presents a sophisticated algorithm for managing radiogenic strictures & stenoses. #IMORU
The @IMORU 2025 program is set! Join us at @UKEHamburg for 20 live & 14 semi-live surgeries, expert lectures & interactive discussions with 30+ top international reconstructive surgeons. Register now: https://t.co/7qVHYwLzG6 #IMORU2025

Urethral strictures after phalloplasty most commonly occur at the anastomosis. In this paper, we provide a practical summary on how to treat them, for those interested! @wesley_verla@LumenNicolaas@mwvetterlein 🙏
