title: A tool for self-dilatation of distal urethral strictures.
abstract: We propose the use of a catheter stopper with a smooth tip as a tool for the dilatation of distal urethral strictures. This allows for self-dilatation by the patient himself or by non-professionals involved in daily care at regular intervals. The method was successfully used in 2 patients.
