Demographic and perioperative data were similar between the two groups.
The proportion of patients with VUA stricture in the first group was
significantly higher than in the second group (5.1% vs 3.2%, p =
0.017). The mean time to stricture development was also shorter in the
first group (48.9 vs 74.3 days, p = 0.002). In the second group, the
proportion of continent patients at the sixth and twelfth months was
higher than the first group (79.3% vs 62.8%, p <0.001;
92.4% vs 81.3%, p = 0.032, respectively). There was no significant
difference between the two groups in terms of the proportions of potent
patients (p = 0.194 for 6 months and p = 0.351 for 12 months).
