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).
