Impact Assessment of Urethral Meatus Morphology and Penile Biometry in Transurethral Prostate and Bladder Surgery

Table 1

The table shows the relationship between the type of urethral meatus and the measures of the meatus and penis in centimeters. We can also observe the relationship between the type of urethral meatus and the need of intervention. Last line values statistically shows the biometric differences when comparing the different types of meatus. The intervention value statistically demonstrates the meatus type intervention ratio differences significance. ML = length of the urethral meatus; MW = width of the urethral meatus; PL = penile length; PW = penile width; PC = circumference of the penis; MP = meatoplasty.
