Vasography in urethral stricture: Novel application of an old technique

Abstract

Urethral stricture disease in men has traditionally been investigated with ascending and voiding cystourethrography as well as urethroscopy. The main emphasis during the preoperative assessment is on establishing the exact extent of the disease process in order to plan appropriate management. We describe a technique that represents a novel approach to the assessment of proximal urethral stricture and in selected cases would be of immense help in defining its precise nature and planning definitive treatment.
