  • Title: [Transluminal urethroplasty. Preliminary experience in 15 cases].
    Author: Simonetti G, Caboni M, Canalis GC, Urigo F, Meloni GB, Rovasio SS.
    Journal: Radiol Med; 1987 Nov; 74(5):420-6. PubMed ID: 2446354.
    Abstract:
    Thirteen patients with urethral stenoses of different etiopathology underwent TUP with an angioplasty balloon catheter. At follow-up, more than 10 months later, 8 out of 10 patients had normal urinary function. Excluding cases of urethral compression due to prostatic hyperplasia, 90% of the stenoses were successfully dilated. The gradualness of the dilatation, the application of a Foley catheter to maintain the dilatation obtained and the prevention of urinary infections are important factors for the success of this method.
