Abstract

Internal urethrotomy is widely accepted for the treatment of urethral stricture recently. However it is well known the fact that urethral stricture can be recurred after internal urethrotomy. In the presence of severe urethral stricture, internal urethrotomy can not be performed because the operator has difficulty finding his way through the urethra. During the internal urethrotomy or primary realignment of urethral rupture, we inserted the Nylon(#1-0) from the suprapubic into the bladder and then situated into the distal urethra for the guide of right way of re-internal urethrotomy when severe urethral stricture was developed after operation. With above methods, we experienced less difficulties to perform internal urethrotomy. We found the method as simple, easy way to manage of severe urethral stricture under the direct visual urethrotomy.
