- Abstract
Two patients with entire urethral stricture were treated with balloon dilatation of the whole urethra using a torpedo-type dilatation balloon with satisfactory results. Postdilatation urethrograms revealed that the lumen of the urethra was of satisfactory width in both cases, and the patients are now voiding normally. There has been no complication requiring therapy. These successful results suggest that this technique is a good alternative treatment for entire urethral stricture, and can replace conventional dilatation. Copyright © 1991 S. Karger AG, Basel
