Abstract
- Contraction and epithelization are two phenomena of wound healing which are retarded by steroid. Triamcinolone activates collagenase which enhanced the degradation of scar tissues. All 7 cases were treated with visual urethrotomy and injected triamcinolone into the lesion. The results were excellent :all 7 patients were asymptomatic without need of further management and their peak flow rates were within normal range. No adverse effect of intralesional injection of triamcinolone was seen.
