title: [Urethral echography: potential and limitations].
abstract: Since in the early years of 1980, the diagnostic for images about male's urethral injury was exclusively assigned to urethrocystography. Sially in repeated check the gonads too often are exposed to ionizing radiations. Our results show urethrocystography/ultrasonography good correlation (13/15) cases) with 86% sensibility. Even if the urethrocystography is a methodic of first instance, the urethral ultrasonography is efficacious in follow up of urethral injury, particularly in the study of anterior urethra.
