  • Title: Urethral valve incision using a modified venous valvulotome.
    Author: Cromie WJ, Cain MP, Bellinger MF, Betti JA, Scott J.
    Journal: J Urol; 1994 Apr; 151(4):1053-5. PubMed ID: 8126790.
    Abstract:
    Anterior and posterior urethral valves have been treated with a variety of methods. The gold standard for treatment of posterior urethral valves is direct vision transurethral fulguration with the patient under general anesthesia. We report a bi-institutional experience using an adapted venous valvulotome to incise the obstructing valve leaflets. During the last 4 years 15 patients were treated, 4 with anterior and 11 with posterior urethral valves. There were no complications associated with this technique, and we believe that this is a safe and simple treatment option.
