  • Title: Endoscopic urethroplasty: an alternative to surgical reconstruction for complete urethral obliteration.
    Author: Krishnamurthi V, Spirnak JP.
    Journal: Semin Urol; 1995 Feb; 13(1):56-61. PubMed ID: 7597353.
    Abstract:
    Urethral obliteration is an uncommon complication of urethral injury and is usually associated with pelvic fracture. Until recently, surgical reconstruction was the only means available to restore urethral continuity. Although formal urethroplasty may be associated with excellent success rates, impotence and incontinence are potential complications. Endoscopic urethroplasty has recently evolved into a suitable alternative to surgical reconstruction in selected cases. We review here the technique of endoscopic urethroplasty and include our initial results.
