title: Endoscopic urethrotomy in the treatment of urethral stenosis.
abstract: After reviewing  the different therapeutic methods for urethral stenosis in the male, the results obtained with Sachse's urethrotomoscope (UTC) was studied in 25 patients checked within a period of between 6 and 28 months. Patients were judged cured when they maintained normal clinical, radiological and urodynamic parameters without treatment; 75% of the patients could be included in that series. Urethral stenosis (US) is a last stage common to distinct pathological causes (congenital, infectious, iatrogenic, traumatic), and lesions, together with their anatomicopathological consequences, merit special study because they contribute to bring valuable data to therapy.
