French Language Validation of the USS-PROM Questionnaire Assesses Clinical Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction after Urethroplasty

Researchers at the Free University of Brussels (ULB) have developed a French language version of the Urethral Stricture Surgery - Patient Reported Outcome Measure (USS-PROM) questionnaire to assess clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction after urethroplasty. The questionnaire was translated, back-translated, and reviewed by a panel of expert urologists to ensure accuracy and comprehension. The French version was then administered to 10 consecutive men who had undergone urethroplasty, with all items receiving an average score above 9/10 for clarity and comprehension.

Key Takeaways:

• A multicenter study is currently underway to externally validate the French version of the USS-PROM questionnaire.
• The questionnaire assesses urinary symptoms, quality of life, and patient satisfaction following urethroplasty.
