Abstract
- PURPOSE: We describe clinical assessment of visual internal urethrotomy (VIU) as primary treatment modality in 69 men who presented with complete or partial obstructed urethral stricture. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The 63 patients with partial obstructed urethral stricture were treated by typical VIU. The 6 men with complete obstructed urethral stricture were treated by VIU using sound passed through previously placed suprapubic tract as guide. RESULTS: The procedure was completed successfully in 57 of the 63 men with partial obstructed (90.5%) and 3 of 6 patients with complete obstructed urethral stricture (50%). CONCLUSIONS: VIU is a safe and effective as primary treatment plan when urethral stricture is partial obstructed and the impassable urethral segment is shorter than 1.0cm.
