Transvesical endoscopic placement of sutures for repair of posterior urethral strictures.
Reapproximation of urethra or skin across an excised scar in the posterior urethra requires placement of sutures deep in the perineum, across the external sphincter, and into the prostatic urethra itself. In the most problematic cases, placement of such sutures via a suprapubic cystostomy tract eliminates most of the usual difficulties.
