The article is concerned with difficulties of the treatment of urethra strictures, complicated in particular, and analyzes results of the surgical treatment resulting from localization of the stricture, its extension and the treatment method. The best results were obtained following resection of the urethra by Rusakov's method. From 65 operated children 59 patients showed complete recovery.
