Treatment of urethral stricture disease by internal urethrotomy followed by intermittent 'low-friction' self-catheterization: preliminary communication

W T Lawrence et al. J R Soc Med. 1988 Mar.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine whether the natural course of urethral stricture disease could be modified following urethrotomy by teaching patients intermittent self-catheterization. Preliminary results in 42 patients show that postoperative urine flow rates can be maintained if this method of 'low-friction' catheterization is adopted. The technique has been well received by an elderly group of patients and can be recommended for wider use.
