Ultrasound and X-ray urethrography and urethroscopy during endoscopic operations on the urethra

In 41 patients are made x-ray ascending and descending and transrectal US (TRUS) of an urethrography and endoscopy before and after transurethral (TUR) of operations on a urethra. For 35 patients there were posttraumatic strictures and obliterations of a urethra, for 3--postinflammatory strictures, for 2--iatrogenic false courses of a urethra and for 1--congenital diverticulum of a urethra. The comparative estimation ultrasonic and x-ray urethrography and urethroscopy has shown, that they are not competitive, but complementary techniques. Thus TRUS of a urethra, as the technique irrelevant with radial load on the patient, can and should more widely be used born for primary diagnostic, and for monitoring outcomes TUR on a urethra.
