    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Medical Devices

    Background:

    • Urethral stricture treatment often relies on retrograde optical internal urethrotomy.
    • Certain complex strictures pose challenges for conventional retrograde approaches.
    • Anterograde techniques offer an alternative but require specialized instrumentation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and describe a new device for performing anterograde internal urethrotomy.
    • To evaluate the feasibility of this device in cases unsuitable for retrograde methods.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel device, resembling a bladder biopsy forceps (Ch 5) with a movable cutting knife, was developed.
    • The device is designed for use with Sachse's urethrotome, inserted through its guide channel.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Anterograde urethrotomy is performed by guiding the closed knife through the stricture and then opening it.

    • Main Results:

    • The new device facilitates anterograde internal urethrotomy.
    • It provides a viable option in cases where optical retrograde urethrotomy is not applicable.
    • The method was successfully utilized in 3 out of 145 total urethrotomy procedures.

    Conclusions:

    • The described device offers a new approach for anterograde internal urethrotomy.
    • This innovation addresses limitations of retrograde techniques in specific urethral stricture cases.
    • Further investigation may be warranted to explore its broader application and efficacy.
