- W2188555825 abstract "Purpose: To evaluate the use of a cutting balloon catheter (Acucise catheter) for the management of urethral strictures. Material and Methods: Twenty male patients with urethral stricture were treated; of these, 13 had undergone previous treatment unsuccessfully. The patients presented with a weak urinary stream, voiding symptoms, maximum urinary flow lower than 15 ml/s, and the retrograde and urinary urethrocystography indicated a urethral stricture less than 20 mm in length. Location of the stenosis and consequent positioning of the balloon were assessed through urethroscopy and fluoroscopy. The metallic guide wire was placed at the 12 o’clock position and an electrocautery incision made. Clinical criteria, results of urinary flowmetry and the urethrocystography ‐ prior to treatment and after six months were classified as: improved, unchanged and worse. Results: Eighty-five percent of the patients reported clinical improvement following the internal urethrotomy with the Acucise catheter. According to the evaluation by urinary flowmetry, in six patients (30%) results were considered good, in 4 (20%) the outcome was fair and in 10 (50%), poor. However, 71.4% of the 7 patients that had not undergo previous treatment evidenced good and fair outcomes. In 75% percent of the patients there was a radiological improvement and no cases of worsening of conditions were found. Conclusions: The use of the Acucise catheter proved to be simple and safe, and it may be considered favorably as a new therapeutic option." @default.
