title: Adjunctive endourological technique for transurethral resection in patients with urethral stricture.
abstract: Attempts to dilate the urethra with metal sounds and to insert a resectoscope sheath with the metal obturator can be traumatizing in patients with urethral stricture or false passage. We describe a simple technique that uses endourological instruments to facilitate insertion of the resectoscope sheath and placement of the post-resection Foley catheter.
