Although the most frequent site of occurrence is in the proximal isthmic portion of the tube, there is occasional involvement of the distal isthmus and even the interstitial portion of the adjacent uterine cornu.

Because our hospital is a referral centre for urethral disease our results indicate that iatrogenic urethral injury (40%) is more common than previously described. They also indicate that urethral stricture due to instrumentation is more common in the bulbomembranous urethra (approximately 80%) and that stricture due to catheterisation is more common at the penoscrotal junction (approximately 70%).

Our results demonstrated a reduction in temperature of the order of 3 degrees C around the tube when coolant was flowing, and the cooling pattern correlated with theoretical mathematical predictions.
