[Internal urethrotomy of urethral strictures in men under endoscopic control]. 1975

E Matouschek, and W E Michaelis

From November 1972 to October 1974 190 patients of the "Urologische Klinik der Städt. Krankenanstalten Karlsruhe" with urethral strictures were treated by internal urethrotomy under endoscopic control with the modified urethrotome from Stortz/Germany. This is a report about short-time results (2-14 months) after treatment. The method is very simple and the effect is controlled by endoscopy. In the first 44 patients we used general or lumbal anaesthesia. In the last patients only local anaesthesia by Instillagel installation into the urethra was used. The short-time results were excellent in 66.8%. We believe that this method points out a new direction in the surgical treatment of urethral strictures.
