[Transurethral resection of urethral stricture and occlusion in children].
The technical requirements of child's urethral surgery are more critical due to the small size and the delicacy of the urethra. From 1984 to 1989, 10 male children with serious traumatic urethral stricture (5 cases) and occlusion (5 cases) were treated with an improved TUR technique and satisfactory results were obtained in all 10 cases. The ages of children ranged from 4 to 14 years. The improved TUR technique, experience of raising curative efficiency and prevention of urethral stricture in children are discussed.
