Abstract

Objective: To evaluate endourethral surgery for urethratresia under the X-ray guide.

Methods: We performed transurethral urethroplasty for 11 patients with urethratresia using the PlasmaKinetic electrodes under the guidance of C arm xanthippe.

Conclusion: X-ray guided internal urethroplasty with PlasmaKinetic electrodes is a simple and efficient treatment for urethratresia.
