Core Tip	In our study, we aimed to investigate whether there are inflammation markers in peripheral blood that can predict urethral stricture recurrence after internal urethrotomy and whether other etiological factors have a place in predicting stricture recurrence. According to our results, no inflammation marker was found to predict urethral stricture recurrence. The possibility of recurrence in patients with comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus and hypertension should be taken into consideration and the patient should be informed that more curative methods may be needed.
