Abstract:
Internal urethrotomy under direct vision was utilized in the complete urethral stricture secondary to pelvic bone fracture or other trauma Prior to operation the antegrade-retrograde cystourethrogram demonstrated a complete disruption and the length of stricture at the level of bulbar and/or membranous urethra. To seek correct channel of proximal urethra was facilitated by an antegrade metal sound guidance performed through the suprapubic tract during urethrotomy. We found this technique a simple, easy and effective method in the management of traumatic complete urethral stricture.
