Temporary spiral stent after endoscopic repair of posttraumatic stricture of prostatomembranous urethra.
We placed a urethral spiral stent for 7 months after an endoscopic excision of scar tissue in a patient who had a posttraumatic stricture of the prostatomembranous urethra. This procedure immediately allowed the patient to void normally and avoided the need for an indwelling urethral catheter.
