title: [Endoscopic internal urethrotomy guided with transrectal echography].
abstract: Internal urethrotomy is the endoscopic technique most commonly performed in order to resolve urethral stenosis. This paper describes a new technique which associates transrectal ultrasound to internal endoscopic urethrotomy for the resolution of unsurmountable stenosis of the urethra. Presentation of 6 cases, with a 100% success rate. The authors believe that the association of transrectal ultrasound with internal endoscopic urethrotomy is a simple technique, and very useful for the resolution of unsurmountable stenosis of the urethra.
