[The treatment of urethral strictures of inflammatory origin by low-frequency ultrasound]

Urethral strictures were treated by ultrasonic exposure by means of a Barvinok MT apparatus, developed by the KVANT Research and Production Amalgamation in Kiev, and special ultrasonic wave-guides. The developed method essentially reduced the time of treatment, was conducive to a complete recovery of the urethral urine-excretory function and of its anatomic and histologic structure; it ruled out the necessity of repeated examinations with a bougie, catheterization, or surgical intervention.
