[Endoscopic reconstruction of 192 patients with traumatic urethral stenosis].

We treated traumatic urethral stenosis with endoscopic technique and observed effects. 192 men with traumatic urethral stenosis (47 with anterior urethral stenosis and 145 with posterior urethral stenosis) were treated with hydroelectric shock wave, cold knife, microwave and electroincission through transurethral endoscopy. We punched hole in the centre of the scar with hydroelectric shock waves for long segment urethral complete occlution. 43 patients were treated with obliteration and 50 with endoscopic operation again for 1-3 times. With a mean of 29. 3 months (range 3-60 months) of followup, 187 patients were treated successfully. Endoscopic operation has good effects on traumatic urethral stenosis with smaller trauma, and few complications.
