Treatment of sphincter strictures using permanent UroLume stent.
The success of the permanent UroLume urethral stent in the treatment of recurrent bulbar urethral strictures led to its use in cases of recurrent strictures in the sphincter active membranous urethra. Among 6 patients treated 3 traumatic strictures have recurred despite the urethral stent but 3 post-prostatectomy strictures have been treated successfully in conjunction with an artificial sphincter to restore continence.
