title: Obliterated urethra: holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet cut-to-light with urolume stenting.
abstract: Antegrade-retrograde urethrotomy, or the cut-to-light procedure, performed for obliterated urethra is associated with a high rate of recurrence of urethra] stricture. With the goal of reducing the stricture recurrence rate, we performed a modified cut-to-light procedure using a holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser and UroLume stenting in a 76-year-old man with urethral obliteration.
