Abstract:
We evaluated the efficacy of local anesthesia for endoscopic urethrotomy in 20 cases of urethral stricture. Patient clinical features and maximum urine flow data before and after the procedure were compared. The technical difficulties encountered are described. Bladder neck sclerosis and/or stricture of the posterior urethra complicated the procedure. Endoscopic urethrotomy using local anesthesia is effective in the treatment of urethral stricture.
