Endoscopic urethrotomy in the treatment of urethral stenosis

After reviewing the different therapeutic methods for urethral stenosis in the male, the results obtained with Sachse's urethrotomoscope (UTC) was studied in 25 patients checked within a period of between 6 and 28 months. Patients were judged cured when they maintained normal clinical, radiological and urodynamic parameters without treatment; 75% of the patients could be included in that series. Urethral stenosis (US) is a last stage common to distinct pathological causes (congenital, infectious, iatrogenic, traumatic), and lesions, together with their anatomicopathological consequences, merit special study because they contribute to bring valuable data to therapy.
