Abstract
We describe a new device and technique for retrograde urethrography without instrumentation of the male urethra. We performed retrograde urethrography with a vacuum uterine cannula in 160 patients. Stricture of the distal tip of the urethra and iatrogenic damage to the urethra were evaluated. No patient sustained iatrogenic damage to the urethra and stricture of the distal tip of the urethra was visualized in 12 patients. We recommend the use of this technique of retrograde urethrography without instrumentation to determine urethral disease when manipulation of the urethra must be avoided or is impossible due to meatal stenosis.
